This study investigated the political responses of young people to unemployment and the ways in which they explain their own and other people's unemployment. These young people proved both disinterested in and disillusioned with traditional political forms of expression but were convinced of the possibility of violent social change and claimed to be willing to engage in it. If unemployed for a very short time they explained their own unemployment in terms of the failure of the system to provide jobs and the unemployment of others in terms of personal inadequacies. If unemployed for longer periods, they tended to engage in self-blaming attributions, claiming their own joblessness to be due to personal inadequacies. The relation of political responses to attributional strategies is discussed and the problems inherent in the methodology are suggested
