This study examined the relationships between the capacity for reflective functioning (RF) and the presence of Axis II psychopathology and their respective and combined impact on the ability of unemployed, low-income individuals to complete work-readiness training and to obtain and retain employment. Forty-one adult clients selected randomly from individuals participating in The HOPE Program, a work-readiness program in Brooklyn, New York, participated in the current study. Results indicated that RF and Axis II pathology were not only found to be related to each other, but were also found to significantly predict job outcomes. Moreover, it was determined that while the presence of an Axis II diagnosis impeded participants' ability to obtain jobs, the impact of such a diagnosis on job acquisition was attributable to having lower levels of RF ability. These results are discussed in relation to implications for the design of programs and interventions to assist unemployed and underserved populations.
本研究考察了反思功能（RF）能力与轴II精神病理学之间的关系，以及它们各自和共同对失业低收入个体完成工作准备培训以及获得和保留工作能力的影响。从参与纽约布鲁克林一个工作准备项目“希望计划”的个体中随机挑选了41名成年客户参与本研究。结果表明，反思功能和轴II病理不仅相互关联，而且还被发现能显著预测工作成果。此外，研究确定，虽然轴II诊断的存在阻碍了参与者获得工作的能力，但这种诊断对就业获取的影响归因于反思功能能力水平较低。本文结合这些结果对帮助失业和服务不足人群的项目和干预措施设计的意义进行了讨论。
