“…There is some evidence that both rational (Crossley & Highhouse, 2005;Leong & Morris, 1989;Russ, McNeilly, & Comer, 1996) and intuitive (Crossley & Highhouse, 2005) decision-making styles are effective, in the sense of being related to positive career outcomes (although see Phillips & Strohmer, 1982;Singh & Greenhaus, 2004). Thus, they should be related to better A-DMC scores.…”

The authors evaluated the reliability and validity of a set of 7 behavioral decision-making tasks, measuring different aspects of the decision-making process. The tasks were administered to individuals from diverse populations. Participants showed relatively consistent performance within and across the 7 tasks, which were then aggregated into an Adult Decision-Making Competence (A-DMC) index that showed good reliability. The validity of the 7 tasks and of overall A-DMC emerges in significant relationships with measures of socioeconomic status, cognitive ability, and decision-making styles. Participants who performed better on the A-DMC were less likely to report negative life events indicative of poor decision making, as measured by the Decision Outcomes Inventory. Significant predictive validity remains when controlling for demographic measures, measures of cognitive ability, and constructive decision-making styles. Thus, A-DMC appears to be a distinct construct relevant to adults' real-world decisions.

“…(Dave, 50s, Couple #17) Expressing a deeply internalized work-ethic, being unemployed was not a situation Dave was prepared to countenance, irrespective of his financial position. Searching for work in a focused way is positively associated with satisfactory outcomes (Crossley and Highhouse, 2005). Happy in his current job as a health care assistant, Dave noted that the strategic, longer-term approach he had adopted more recently had worked out much better for him.…”

Households’ responses to spousal job loss: ‘all change’ or ‘carry on as usual’?

Economic theory suggests that when a primary earner within a couple loses their job, one potential response is for the secondary earner to seek additional paid work to bolster their household finances. The empirical quantitative evidence regarding any such 'added worker effect' is mixed, and, to investigate why this might be, the article explores processes behind couples' responses to job loss. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with a purposive sample selected from the Understanding Society Innovation Panel, the analysis examines: (a) anticipation surrounding job loss and job search responses; (b) the extent to which couples adopt long-or short-term labour market perspectives; and (c) whether couples seek to preserve their established division of paid and unpaid labour or re-configure their joint labour supply. Findings indicate that the use of additional spousal labour is only one response among many alternatives and it is typically invoked in cases of serious financial hardship.

“…Future research may also examine how stress affects job-search goals and strategies (see Crossley & Highhouse, 2005), perceptions of treatment during the selection process (Derous, Born, & De Witte, 2004), and how job-search cycles may be integrated into staffing cycles (Carlson & Connerley, 2003). Along these lines, research may explore connections between stress experienced during job search and subsequent underemployment (Feldman, 1996).…”

Guided by economic rational choice theory and the behavioral‐coping literature, the present study examined contrasting perspectives of the role of job‐search locus of control (JSLOC) and perceived financial need in predicting job‐search intensity. Data were collected in two independent studies in the Netherlands and in the United States, both using a two‐wave longitudinal design. Results from both studies suggested that job seekers with external JSLOC and high perceived financial need engaged in more intense search behavior to compensate for anticipated difficulties in finding employment. Findings suggested that stress may mediate this relation, and may play a positive role in the job‐search process.
