Living according to one׳s personal values has implications for wellbeing, and incongruence between personal and workplace values has been associated with burnout.

There are likely to be substantial within-group differences as well as between-group differences in experiences of crime and reported fear of crime. For instance, women may experience fear differently by relationship type. Specifically, women in non-traditional …
