Learned Helplessness or Expectancy-Value? A Psychological Model for Describing the Experiences of Different Categories of Unemployed People.

Garcia Rodriguez, Yolanda

Journal of Adolescence, v20 n3 p321-32 Jun 1997

Proposes a model that assumes the relationships among unemployment and expectation of success, commitment to work, motivation, causal attributions, self-esteem, and depression are moderated by first-time job-seeking and age. Results show that, for first-job seekers, the relationships among these variables is consistent with expectancy-value theory. (RJM)
