Are Being Unemployed and Being Out of the Labor Force Distinct States? A Psychological Approach Journal of Economic Psychology 16,2 (July 1995): 275-295. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/016748709500009D Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Data Quality/Consistency; Heterogeneity; Labor Force Participation; Psychological Effects; Self-Esteem; Unemployment Examined whether a difference in psychological well-being exists between unemployed people and labor force drop-outs (i.e., unemployed people who become so discouraged that they cease searching for employment). Data were from 12,686 persons (aged 14-22 years) in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, who have been interviewed annually since 1979. Joblessness fostered feelings of externality. Also, as duration of joblessness advanced so did feelings of helplessness, thus favoring the stages of psychological impairment theory. Data on the psychological status of the jobless are consistent with the view of K. B. Clark and L. H. Summers (1979) that the 2 forms of joblessness are effectively indistinguishable.
