Effect of work family conflict levels on smoking and alcohol use frequency: Role of positive negative affective agent

The 237 participants participating in the research were evaluated in terms of their demographic characteristics. All data of the research were analyzed in SPSS 23.0 package program. In the study, Shapiro-Wilk test was applied to measure whether the data showed a normal distribution. Since the data used in the study did not show normal distribution, non-parametric tests were applied. In the study, Mann Whitney U test was used to compare paired groups, and Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare three or more groups. Spearman test was applied to measure the relationship between the scales. Regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of the scales on each other and the mediator variable effect. According to the results of the study, when the distribution of the scores of the participants from the scales of work-family conflict, positive-negative affect, nicotine addiction and alcoholism by gender was examined, there was a significant difference. On the other hand, when the scores of the participants from the work-family conflict, positive-negative affect, nicotine addiction, alcoholism scales were examined in terms of the age variable, it was seen that nicotine addiction, alcoholism, positive and negative emotion scores did not show a significant difference. When the participants' work-family conflict, positive-negative affect, nicotine addiction, alcoholism scores are examined according to the marital status variable, there is a significant difference. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the alcoholism, nicotine addiction, and negative affect scores of the participants, but no significant difference in the positive emotion scores. It was concluded that the participants' work-family conflict, positive-negative affect, and nicotine addiction scores showed a significant difference according to their income level, but the scores obtained from the alcohol scale did not differ significantly according to their income level. The nicotine addiction scores of the participants showed a significant difference according to the answers they gave to the question "Is there anyone in the family who smoked?" When we look at the smoking scores of the participants, the scores of those who have a smoker in their family are higher than those who do not have a family smoker. The alcoholism scores of the participants did not show a significant difference according to their answers to the question "Is there anyone smoking in the family". As positive emotions, negative emotions, and alcohol use increase, the level of work-family conflict also increases. There is a negative relationship between work-family conflict and nicotine addiction. As smoking increases, the level of work-family conflict decreases, alcohol use occurs due to work-family conflict at a rate of 26%, and positive and negative affect is a mediator in this relationship.
