Tiivistelmä: | The negative effects of unemployment on psychological health are well documented, yet Kasl's (Psychological Medicine 1982 p. 637-649) reverse causation hypothesis is that positive psychological health, and in particular self-esteem, facilitates re-employment. The aim of this study was to investigate this proposal by assessing levels of self-esteem, cognitive appraisals and coping efforts among unemployed persons and relating these factors to their employment status six months later. Comparison of baseline appraisals revealed that future re-employed participants rated their latent deprivation lower and their internal locus of control higher than those continuously unemployed, and they also derived more internal meaning from leisure activities. |
