Income Volatility and Psychological Depression
Income volatility appears to be increasing especially among lower income workers. Such volatility may reflect the ongoing shift of economic risk from employers to employees as marked by decreasing job security and employer‐provided benefits. This study tests whether absolute volatility or downward volatility in income predict depression controlling for prior depression. A sample ( n = 4,493) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79)…

Birth Weight and Mothers' Adverse Employment Change
Low birth weight has been linked at the aggregate level to unemployment rates and at the individual level to subjective distress. We hypothesize that maternal underemployment, including unemployment, involuntary part-time work, and low wage work predicts decreased birth weight. The relationship of birth weight to maternal employment changes during pregnancy was studied prospectively in 1,165 singleton first births in the National Longitudinal Sur…
Social Costs of Underemployment
Comparing the effects of unemployment and inadequate employment relative to adequate employment, this text studies their effects on self-esteem, alcohol abuse, depression, and birth weight. Using longitudinal methods, it measures controls for reverse causation (selection) and studies a large representative sample of Americans from their late teens in 1979, to their early 30's in the last decade of the twentieth century through stages of different…
The Social Costs of Underemployment
Going beyond the usual focus on unemployment, this 2004 book explores the health effects of other kinds of underemployment including forms of inadequate employment as involuntary part-time and poverty wage work. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this compares falling into unemployment versus inadequate employment relative to remaining adequately employed. Outcomes include self-esteem, alcohol abuse, depression, and low birth weight…
Unemployment, Underemployment, and Mental Health
The economy is one of the most important social environments that affect well‐being, and community psychologists have long studied the social costs of one key economic stressor—job loss. But economically inadequate employment has received much less research attention than unemployment in regard to mental health effects. This paper contrasts these two literatures and considers factors that might account for their differential growth including actu…
Introduction to Underemployment and Its Social Costs
Good jobs" to "bad jobs
Mental Health and Welfare Transitions
From a selection perspective, does prior dysfunction select women into welfare or serve as a barrier to leaving welfare? From a social causation perspective, does entering or exiting welfare lead to changes in well being? These questions were analyzed in panel data for over 3,600 women drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for the period 1992–94. Welfare is associated with both depression and alcohol consumption cross‐sectionally. …
Underemployment and Depression
We conceptualize employment status not as a dichotomy of working versus not working but as a continuum ranging from adequate employment to inadequate employment (involuntary part-time or low wage) to unemployment. Will shifts from adequate to inadequate employment increase depression as do shifts from employment to unemployment, and to what extent does prior depression select workers into such adverse employment change? We analyze panel data from…
Effect of Favorable Employment Change on Alcohol Abuse
Job loss has been linked to adverse outcomes such as alcohol abuse, but improved employment, usually assumed to be beneficial, has seldom been evaluated and may not help with addictive disorders. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, young adults who were unemployed or underemployed (low income or involuntary part‐time) in 1984 were followed up in 1985 and 1989. Controlling for 1984 alcohol abuse, there were no effects of positive empl…
Depression and unemployment
Studies that have found an association between unemployment and psychological depression often fail to establish the direction of causal influence. Analyses of Epidemiologic Catchment Area panel data revealed that of employed respondents not diagnosed with major depression at first interview, those who became unemployed had over twice the risk of increased depressive symptoms and of becoming clinically depressed as those who continued employed. A…
Job Loss and Alcohol Abuse
The hypothesis that job loss affects the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is tested using panel data from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area project. Results suggest that the incidence of clinically significant alcohol abuse is greater among those who have been laid off than among those who have not. However, employed persons in communities in which total employment is unexpectedly low are at reduced risk of becoming alcohol abuser…

The timing of major life events
It is widely believed that social norms govern the timing of major life events, such that events experienced off time are considerably more stressful than events experienced on time. Experiencing life events either earlier or later than one's peers presumably reduces opportunities for social support and may also invite social disapproval. Relatively few empirical studies have investigated these ideas, however, and those that have suffer from seve…

Recent Research on the Psychological Effects of Unemployment
Economic turbulence in the early 1980s stimulated not only popular and governmental concern about the effects of unemployment, but also extensive research on the topic. This journal issue presents 10 representative reports of such recent research from the United States and Europe. Of the two principal methodologies used in this field, aggregate time‐series analysis and individual‐level surveys, this issue is limited to the individual‐level litera…
Personal and Aggregate Unemployment and Psychological Symptoms
Four different types of individual‐level unemployment experiences were studied in relation to psychological symptoms: (1) current unemployment following a recent involuntary job loss, (2) unemployment among students or homemakers, (3) reemployment after recent job loss, and (4) either voluntary or long‐term (greater than 6 months) unemployment. Aggregate unemployment (the prevailing rate in the surveyed community) was also studied, both alone and…
Job and non‐job stressors and their moderators
Almost 4000 principal wage‐earners were surveyed to assess the main and interactive effects of undesirable and desirable life‐events, social support, and perceived and objective job security on psychological symptoms. Events and support were measured for both the job and non‐job spheres. Three methods of analysis were used. Ordinary regression was used as a preliminary analysis and to provide comparison with the customary approach. A second analy…
The interaction of stressful life events and chronic strains on community mental health
One of the possible adaptive costs of coping with stress is diminished capacity to respond to subsequent adaptive demands. This paper examined the complex interplay between major life events and one source of chronic strain. Residents of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area exposed to higher levels of smog, who had also experienced a recent stressful life event, exhibited poorer mental health than those exposed to pollution who had not exper…
A test of reciprocal risk between undesirable economic and noneconomic life events
The proposition that undesirable life experiences are risk factors for each other was explored by testing several hypotheses concerning the temporal relationships between economic and noneconomic life events. The tests were conducted using data describing the incidence of stressful experiences among approximately 3,500 Anglo and Hispanic residents of Los Angeles County. Findings suggested that Anglo men who have undesirable economic life experien…
The relation of economic conditions, social support, and life events to depression
Evidence for a connection between recession and psychopathology has come from aggregate and individual-level studies. The aggregate studies cannot identify particular mechanisms (e.g., personally experienced life changes caused by the economy versus anticipation of stress on the basis of perceived community conditions versus the interaction of the two). Individual-level studies rarely control for earlier symptoms or, if they do, never include a m…
Labor Markets and Help-Seeking
The hypothesis that job insecurity, engendered by the oversupply of labor, is a predictor of seeking help for psychological problems is derived from concepts drawn from sociology, management science, and psychology. The hypothesis is tested with data describing approximately 3,850 principal wage earners interviewed over a four-year period in the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area. Results suggest that job insecurity increases the likelihood…
Applying Social Support Research
Two independent research traditions have evolved that deal with social support‐an analytic tradition that emphasizes theory‐based tests of hypotheses and an applied tradition that emphasizes evaluations of interventions. This paper seeks to stimulate feedback between these two traditions by examining how implicit assumptions and conceptual distinctions embedded within the analytic literature translate into suggestions for intervention. Assumption…

Why the Economy Predicts Help-Seeking
Mental health costs of economic -change are measured in a cross-level analysis that combines aggregate economic conditions (unemployment rate or absolute change in employment levels) with individual self-reports of undesirable job and financial events, psychosomatic symptoms, and help-seeking for emotional problems. The data were collected in Los Angeles County during 1978-80 in 12 quarterly surveys. Data for 4,144 Anglo respondents are analyzed …

Economic, life, and disorder changes
Implicit in recent social science research and political discussions is a model linking the economy to mental disorder through the intervening constructs of life change and trauma. Using time-series analysis of a 16-month survey in Kansas City, Missouri (n = 1,140), economic and noneconomic life events and the Midtown scale were predicted using a variety of economic measures for the standard metropoliton statistical area. Both life event variable…
Money and mental disorder
This paper reviews recent retrospective sociological research suggesting that rises as well as falls in the economy are associated with such indicators of mental disorder as suicide and mental hospitalization. The review emphasizes that a lag exists between economic change and the changes in associated mental indicators. It is suggested that these findings hold promise both for early warning for practitioners and for primary prevention. Also desc…

Selecting nonprofessional counselor trainees with the Group Assessment of Interpersonal Traits (Gait)
The GAIT is a procedure for sampling and measuring communication behavior. Candidates for a counselor-training program (136 Ss; 86% women; average age 44 yr.) took the GAIT in 18 groups and completed written forms for staff screening. Data included pre-GAIT first impression peer ratings and GAIT Empathy. Acceptance, and Openness ratings by peers and by trained audiotape judges. After nine months of training, 26 remaining Ss were judged on a couns…
Assessing nonprofessional mental health workers with the Gait
Coed groups of undergraduates took the Group Assessment of Interpersonal Traits (GAIT) twice with either a 3-week or a 9-week interval. Peer ratings of the nine GAIT scales were unrelated to sex. Test-retest correlations were significantly positive for the short-interim Ss (N = 41) but were generally low for the long-interim Ss (N = 29). Peer-rated GAIT Therapeutic Talent variables (Understand, Accepting-Warm, Open) were significantly correlated …

The Economy As Stressor
Recent analyses have empirically linked two lines of research which together shed new light on the etiology of adaptation related disorders. The first of these lines, the stressful life events research, suggests a positive association between the self-reported experience of certain events and the onset of subsequent health and behavioral problems. The second has discovered a longitudinal relationship between eco? nomic indicators and such archiva…
