“…sectional and longitudinal research using a global measure of self-esteem has repeatedly demonstrated that unemployed people display lower levels of self-esteem than do employed people (Feather & O'Brien, 1986;Gurney, 1980;Patton & Noller, 1990;Perfetti & Bingham, 1983;Shams &Jackson, 1994).…”

Two hundred and one unemployed men and women participated in a crosssectional study that assessed self-esteem, financial deprivation, number of alternate roles, and use of social support. Financial deprivation, alternate roles, and social support each had a main effect on self-esteem. In addition, these variables interacted with gender to affect self-esteem. Specifically, financial deprivation had a greater negative association with self-esteem in men as compared with women. In contrast, alternate roles and social support had a stronger positive relationship to self-esteem in women than in men. The incorporation of these findings into intervention programs for unemployed persons is discussed.

“…Hicks, & Winocur, 1993). Furthermore, longitudinal studies have been able to demonstrate that negative effects associated with unemployment emerge when people lose their jobs and are by and large not associated with individuals with fewer skills or personal resources who "drift" into joblessness (Patton & Noller, 1990;). …”

Unemployed (n = 118) and employed (n = 120) people were contrasted on variables of well‐being, confidence, and employment commitment. The unemployed scored lower on the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1972) and the General Self‐Efficacy Scale (Sherer et al., 1982). No differences were Identified on levels of employment commitment. For the unemployed sample, predictors of job‐seeking behavior and well‐being were then examined. Intention to seek work predicted job‐seeking behavior, while self‐efficacy, employment commitment, and intentions to seek work predicted well‐being. Results are discussed in light of current theories of job seeking behavior, and recommendations are made for practice.

“…That evidence is generally consistent but some studies show a smaller effect, perhaps reflecting different social and cultural contexts (e.g. (Patton & Noller 1990;Schaufeli 1997)). However, health benefits depend on the job or the training being 'satisfactory' while 'unsatisfactory' jobs may be little better than unemployment.…”

“…Three studies suggest that it is at least partly due to health selection (Hamilton et al 1993;Claussen et al 1993;Mean Patterson 1997). However, eight other studies that tested this hypothesis in various ways failed to demonstrate any health selection effect (Tiggemann & Winefield 1984;Warr & Jackson 1985;Layton 1986b;Kessler et al 1989;Patton & Noller 1990;Graetz 1993;Schaufeli 1997;Vuori & Vesalainen 1999). Thus, the balance of the evidence is that health improvements are (at least to a large extent) a direct consequence of re-employment.…”
