Psychological Reactions of Young People to Unemployment.

Viney, Linda L.

Youth and Society, v14 n4 p457-74 Jun 1983

Among samples of Australian unemployed, younger and older people had different psychological reactions to unemployment. Age was a better predictor of psychological reactions than sex, length of unemployment, or migrant status. The younger unemployed showed less tolerance of others and less self-reliance than older people. (Author/MJL)
