Abstract

The Moderating Role of Coping Resilience on the Relation Between Total Role Demands on Daytime Sleepiness in Working College Students

Working college students are confronted with several life roles that are physically and psychologically demanding, which has led to an increase in poor sleep health and daytime sleepiness. Research related to sleep health and daytime sleepiness found that 74% of college students claimed to not get enough sleep and 50% claimed to experience daytime sleepiness (Hershner & Chervin, 2014). Adopting the Job-Demands Resources (J-DR) theory (Bakker & Demerouti, 2017) to understand various role demands and resources, we hypothesized that:

Coping resilience would moderate the effect of total role demands on sleep health and daytime sleepiness.

The sample included 159 (Mage = 20.56; SD = 3.03) working college students from UNO who were predominately female (71.8%) and Caucasian (61.9%). Data on variables were collected via an anonymous online survey. Moderated regression analyses using Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2017) revealed that coping resilience moderated the relation between total role demands and daytime sleepiness as predicted. Coping resilience did not moderate the effect of role demands on sleep health. Implications for the role of coping resilience in buffering the harmful effects of total role demands on daytime sleepiness among working college students will be discussed.
