“…These findings are consistent with previous studies demonstrating cognitive functioning as a significant predictor of work outcomes even after controlling for work history, itself a robust predictor of work outcomes (18). In the general population, cognitive ability is a strong predictor of work outcomes, and this association is partly mediated by the fact that better cognitive ability predicts better learning and job knowledge (43,44). Our results suggest that, regardless of diagnosis, the cognitive impairments seen within severe mental illness uniquely predict vocational outcomes.…”

Among people with severe mental illnesses, neuropsychological abilities may contribute to vocational outcomes, such as job attainment, job tenure, and wages earned. The current study aimed to determine the strongest neuropsychological and other modifiable predictors of work outcomes in 153 people with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, 38%; bipolar disorder, 24%; and major depression, 38%) who participated in a 2-year supported employment study.Methods: Assessments of neuropsychological performance, functional capacity, social skills, and psychiatric symptom severity were administered at baseline; work outcomes (job attainment, weeks worked, and wages earned) were collected weekly for 2 years.

“…Moreover, we found that the lower degree of general intellectual functioning among the women with TXS was reflected in their lower education levels compared to controls. Thus, additional research is needed in order to examine the relationship between intelligence and occupational adjustment and functioning in women with TXS [38].…”

Triple X syndrome (TXS, also known as trisomy X or 47,XXX) has been associated with impaired overall neurocognitive functioning in children and relatively young adults. However, neurocognitive functioning in adults with TXS is poorly understood. The aim of this study was, therefore, to examine cognitive functioning in adults with TXS. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 34 adult women with TXS (mean age = 32.9; SD = 13.1) and 31 controls (mean age = 34.9; SD = 13.7). General intellectual functioning, semantic/verbal memory, visual/episodic memory, psychomotor speed, and attention and executive functioning were then compared between these two groups. Results: We found that general intellectual functioning was significantly lower in the TXS group compared to the control group. In addition, women with TXS had more attention problems and lower psychomotor speed, particularly motor processing speed. When the analyses were adjusted for IQ, the strength of these associations decreased. The women in the TXS group also scored significantly lower at free recall in the verbal memory test, but not in immediate or delayed recognition. Finally, visual/episodic memory and executive functioning did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusions: Our analysis revealed that women with TXS score lower in general intellectual functioning and have impairments in motor processing speed and attention compared to controls, but do not differ with respect to executive functioning. These results offer new insights for improving the support of adults with TXS both at school and in the workplace.

“…The literature identifiesa number of potential societalobstaclesfor job seekers oflower socialclass (Bloch, 1996;Brown et aI., 1996;Herr, 1996;Isaacson & Brown, 1997;Morris & Levinson, 1995;Porat, Marshall, & Howell, 1997). They include (a) less access to education and training, (b) less high school emphasis on general workforce preparation, (c) lack of employed adult role models and other world-of-work information, (d) stereotypical attitudes about types of jobs to seek, (e) more dead-end or hazardous jobs, (f) less work flexibility, (g) fewer dependent care options, and (h) homelessness.…”

Welfare‐to‐Work Services: A Person‐Centered Perspective

Services designed to assist job seekers to leave public assistance and gain employment are well established throughout the U.S. Many of these programs are created and delivered by professionals of higher socioeconomic class backgrounds, but many program participants are of lower social class status. This situation can create "cross-class" difficulties in the design and delivery of effective jobsearch services. The author argues that using a person-centered perspective, with the deliberate inclusion of genuineness and empathy in all phases of programming, may neutralize cross-class variables and increase the effectiveness of interventions. Examples from programs emphasizing person-centered concepts are offered.The landscape of job-seeking services in the United States has begun to look quite different since states have begun requiring many of those on public assistance to move into part-time or full-time jobs (Edwards, Rachal, & Dixon, 1999;Friedman, 1999). This "welfare-to-work" environment is having an impact both on the clients and the deliverers of job readiness services and requires crafting ofnew regulations and procedures for helping clients move toward paid employment. It also requires new contextual awareness and theory-based choices on the part of policy makers and service deliverers. These new demands on the providers and users of welfare-to-work technology deserve close attention from vocational counselors and psychologists interested in contextual factors in the delivery of job seeking and job-keeping services. This article specificallyexplores cross-class issues as they relate to design, delivery, and evaluation of work-related services for clients oflow social class. It does so from the perspective of person-centered counseling theory and career counseling (
