It is not easy to summarize the studies that have dealt with the
health effects of un employment on the unemployed. The main problem
impeding a comparison of their results is the diversity of
theoretical constructs associated with physical and especially
mental health and, above all, an apparently inexhaustible variety
of op erationalizations of these constructs. It is significant that
the six conclusions drawn from the present state of unemployment
research by the organizers of a re cent conference on the
individual and social consequences of unemployment in cluded the
following request: "In view of the relevant constructs, it seems to
be most urgent to find or to develop operationalizations which can
be agreed upon, in order to guarantee comparability of research
results" (Kieselbach and Wacker 1985, p. XX; my translation).
Nevertheless, the results of these studies allow the statement that
a negative in fluence of job loss on psychological well-being can
be regarded as a validated finding. The influence on physical
health, however, must be assessed very careful ly and in a
differentiated manner. The few investigations dealing with this
ques tion arrive at different conclusions; moreover, possibly
relieving effects of unem ployment on health come into sight."
