Race, gender, and the response to stress
A three‐wave panel study of auto plant closings focused on the mental health effects of unemployment on blue‐collar workers. This paper explores how the impact of long‐term unemployment varies across race and gender. We also examine whether other demographic factors can themselves modify the impactsof race and gender. Dependent variables include two measures of distress and two drinking measures. Results showed that the effect of long‐term unempl…
Impact of Mental Health Services Use on Subsequent Mental Health of Autoworkers
Collecting three waves of panel data offered an unusual opportunity to examine the long-term outcomes of the use of mental health services. Data are drawn from a panel study of autoworkers. Waves 1, 2, and 3 consisted of 1,597, 1,288, and 1,136 workers, respectively, from four closing and 12 non-closing plants in Southeastern Michigan. Our results revealed a surprising finding: use of mental health services, whether in the general or specialty se…
Unemployment, distress, and coping
Unemployment and its effects on families
Assessed the impact o f unemployment on the families o f auto workers recently unemployed or anticipating unemployment, as perceived by the workers themselves. A quasi-experimental design is used in the study; workers were sampled from plants scheduled to close (n = 831) and those not closing (n = 766). Results indicate that financial hardship produced by the unemployment experience has powerful negative effects on the families o f these workers.…
Hard Times and Vulnerable People
Large-scale 1987 General Motors plant shutdowns offered an unusual opportunity to study effects of actual and anticipated unemployment on mental health. Workers from four closing and 12 nonclosing plants (Ns = 831 and 766 respectively) were interviewed approximately three months before scheduled plant closings. Dependent variables were baseline frequencies of somatic, depressive, and anxiety symptoms. The quasi-experimental design made it possibl…
