| Abstract: | This study tests Marie Jahoda's latent deprivation model with a representative sample of the German population. Employees reported high levels of time structure, social contact, collective purpose and activity in comparison to unemployed persons and persons who are out of the labor force. Even unskilled manual workers reported more access to these "latent functions" than unemployed persons. For identity/status, which is the fifth of Jahoda's dimensions, no significant differences between employed persons and persons who are out of the labor force could be identified. Jahoda's model was endorsed for four of the five latent functions of employment and partly endorsed for the fifth function. All variables in the model correlated significantly with distress. |
