“…Psychological (Vanhercke et al., 2015) and psychoeducational support (Murphey & Shillingford, 2012; Panari & Tonelli, 2022) should be integrated into career interventions. A practical component focused on goals is crucial for effective interventions, which should be planned, structured, systematic, and integrated (Behrendt, Heuer & Göritz, 2021; Sabatés, 2013; Parola & Marcionetti, 2022). Work‐based counseling, such as internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, and on‐site programming, plays a significant role in this regard (Blustein & Guarino, 2020).…”

“…From a psychological point of view, these effects extend beyond demographic characteristics and impact dimensions such as quality of life, life satisfaction, self‐esteem, and self‐efficacy (Panari & Tonelli, 2022). From a career development point of view, unemployed individuals are seen as more likely to lose hope in the future, and lack confidence in their abilities (e.g., Parola & Marcionetti, 2022).…”

The study of career development among unemployed people is vital for effective institutional responses. This integrative review based on Torraco's protocol fills a literature gap by synthesizing research on interventions for this population. Seven keywords, five databases, and six eligibility criteria were defined. Among 324 articles, 36 were reviewed. Findings highlight diverse counseling modalities, emphasizing group interventions and remote delivery. Tailored approaches, including length, frequency, and social‐emotional and career dimensions, are crucial. Practical recommendations emphasize comprehensive, psychological support, goal‐oriented counseling, and postintervention assistance. These insights underscore vocational psychology's importance in addressing unemployment, impacting government policies, career services, and psychologists.

“…Consequently, in the post-pandemic era, Chinese college students have become extraordinarily vulnerable to stressors associated with job search as well as the fear of failing to secure employment. Existing research on youth psychology points out that unemployment at one's twenties can 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1101674 easily cause poor mental health status, including distress, anxiety, depression, and low self-efficacy (Winefield and Tiggemann, 1985;Hammarström, 1994;Schaufeli, 1997;Parola and Marcionetti, 2022), and undesirable behavioral outcomes such as alcohol, cigarette, and drug abuse (Hammarström, 1994;Katon et al, 2007;Reissner et al, 2011).…”

Resulting from an enlarged number of graduating college students and shrinkage of work opportunities, stress in relation to job search and employment is becoming an increasingly noticeable issue in China. Previous psychiatry research has suggested that social support can be conducive to reducing stress from multiple sources, while the effectiveness hinges on whether it is actually recognized and perceived by the recipients. The prevalence of social media has greatly facilitated the communication and exchange of social support information. However, they can also lead to overuse and addiction problems. This study aims to investigate how job search stress affects graduating college students’ social media addiction severity using a serial mediation model and test the potential moderation effect of sense of coherence. Based on a sample of graduating college students (n = 144), our findings point out a significant pathway for the impacts of stress sequentially through seeking of social support and perceived social support. Furthermore, job search stress seems to have pronounced effects on the psychological need for social support only at low- and mid-levels of sense of coherence.

“…Previous research has compared the psychological future of unemployed individuals, students, and workers, with unemployed individuals being less future-oriented (Guthrie et al, 2009 ; Parola & Donsì, 2019 ). Moreover, future orientation has been pointed out as a moderator of the relationships between working status and mental health indicators (Parola & Marcionetti, 2022 ), and a mediator of the relationship between working status and well-being (Felaco & Parola, 2022 ). Despite the evidence of reduced future orientation, qualitative studies have described a few positive envisions of the future among employed individuals, especially youths who reported shorter periods of unemployment (Mühlhaus et al, 2021 ).…”

The psychological future of unemployed individuals and workers: invariance measurement model and mean differences

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study compared the psychological future of unemployed individuals and workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. It used the data from two previous data collections, one with unemployed individuals and another with workers. Participants from the two datasets were paired considering the same gender and similar age and education degree. The analyzed sample consisted of 352 participants, of which 176 were unemployed individuals and 176 were workers. The psychological future was measured by the Future Time Orientation Scale and the Life Project Scale. Both scales fit the sample of unemployed individuals and were invariant at the metric level across occupation status. Partial scalar model met good fit after freeing the intercepts of one item in each scale. In contrast to the hypothesis, compared to workers, unemployed individuals did not have lower rates in the assessed features of their psychological future. Conversely, for some variables, the rates were even higher among unemployed individuals. Unexpected results and limitations are discussed.
