Psychiatric status and psychosocial variables were assessed in a group of 80 unemployed men. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed using the Present State Examination and 'caseness' rated according to the Bedford College criteria. Among men who were normal at the time of job loss, 14% developed a 'case' disorder and a further 17% a 'borderline case' disorder over the first 6 months of unemployment. These rates are similar to those found in studies concerned with a wider range of severe life events. An increased risk of onset was associated with three factors: lack of an intimate relationship with a wife or girlfriend, trait shyness, and pre-existing economic difficulties.
对一组80名失业男性的精神状态和社会心理变量进行了评估。使用《现况检查》评估抑郁和焦虑症状，并根据贝德福德学院标准对“病例”进行评级。在失业时精神正常的男性中，14%在失业的头6个月内患上了“病例”性障碍，另有17%患上了“边缘病例”性障碍。这些比率与在涉及更广泛严重生活事件的研究中发现的比率相似。发病风险增加与三个因素有关：与妻子或女友缺乏亲密关系、特质性害羞和先前存在的经济困难。
