Abstract

A survey explored predictors of perceived control, depression, and loneliness among chronicallyunemployed adults age 50 and older. As expected, these cognitive and emotional states weresignificantly related to the situational aspects of unemployment (e.g., length, remaining bene fits). However, they were also consistently related to such personality characteristics asassertiveness and lack of shyness, and the ability to take another's perspective. This articlediscusses implications for unemployment counseling for older adults.
