| Tiivistelmä: | Psychological research on unemployment profited a lot from the occupational stress literature. This paper too borrowed a model to predict variations in the psychological experience of long-term unemployed men. It is supposed that these variations are mainly due to the stressfulness of the environment which is defined by the balance of problems, supports and opportunities existing in it. The model assumes certain other, modifying variables such as social class, personal attributes, financial circumstances. The model is tested with stepwise multiple regression on a sample of 399 men, unemployed 6-12 months. It is shown that the severity of problems does predict the level of psychological symptoms. Some limitations of the model are noted. |
