Two waves of questionnaire data obtained from displaced workers are used to test whether continuous unemployment (vs. reemployment) and increased economic stress influence displaced workers' perceptions of social support for a period of one to nine months following job loss from a plant closing. Two kinds of effects, stability and change, in these variables are examined. The results demonstrate change in social support after job loss, which indicates that unemployment and social support are mutually related and that life events (continuous unemployment) have an impact on social support through economic distress. Findings point to the need for further research on the issue of stress-buffering mechanisms.
从失业工人那里获得的两波问卷调查数据，被用于检验持续失业（相对于再就业）以及经济压力增加，是否会在工厂关闭导致失业后的一到九个月时间里，影响失业工人对社会支持的认知。研究考察了这些变量中的两种效应，即稳定性和变化性。结果表明失业后社会支持会发生变化，这表明失业与社会支持相互关联，而且生活事件（持续失业）会通过经济困境对社会支持产生影响。研究结果指出有必要进一步研究压力缓冲机制问题。
