The psychology of unemployment covers several areas of psychological theory and practice
including the psychological meaning of employment, the differential role of mediators and
moderators in the experience of unemployment and the conceptualization of interventions that
limit the detrimental psycho-social effects associated with the loss of employment and continuing
unemployment. Psychological unemployment research has focused on the analysis of the
individual and social requirements to adapt to and cope more adequately with the requirements of
the new labour markets. Occupational transitions that do not exceed the personal resources of the
individual contribute to the formulation of public employment policies that limit the health risks of
new trends of unemployment relations.

2018.2 Young people and their resources: The relationship with coping, E. Frydenberg, V.
McKenzie, University of Melbourne, Carlton, Victoria, Australia
Young people's resources are linked with their coping efficacy. For example, it has been found that
those who are resource rich are likely to use more productive coping strategies and less
nonproductive ones. In order to maximize young people's capacity for resilience it is proposed that
resources be enhanced, particularly those resources that relate to their coping. It is suggested that a
lack of resources can be compensated for by providing the skills to cope productively. One such
coping skills program, the Best of Coping, is presented along with studies which evaluate its
efficacy in a number of school settings.
