future outlook and financial strain testing the Personal Agency and latent deprivation models of unemployment and well being
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2005Co-Authors: Peter Alexander Creed, Jan KlischAbstract:Two hundred and thirty-nine unemployed adults were administered scales tapping well-being, financial strain, future orientation, the latent benefits of employment, neuroticism, length of unemployment and whether the person was the principal income earner in the household. First, the study tested the relative contributions of the Latent Deprivation Model and the Agency Restriction Model in predicting psychological well-being of unemployed people. Second, the study tested whether financial strain interacted with future orientation to predict well-being, or whether financial strain was mediated by future orientation. The study found support for the Agency Restriction Model over the Latent Deprivation Model, but concluded that examining internal Personal Agency processes in the context of the individual's temperament and situation is needed to explain the decline in well-being associated with unemployment. No interaction effects were identified and future orientation did not mediate the influence of financial strain. The contextual variable of the unemployed person being a principal income earner influenced well-being directly, the latent benefit of social support influenced well-being indirectly via future orientation, length of unemployment influenced well-being indirectly through negative future orientation, whereas the Personality variable of neuroticism had a direct effect on well-being and an indirect effect via future orientation. Practical implications are also indicated.

Future outlook and financial strain: testing the Personal Agency and latent deprivation models of unemployment and well-being.
Journal of occupational health psychology, 2005Co-Authors: Peter Alexander Creed, Jan KlischAbstract:A sample (N=239) of unemployed adults completed scales measuring well-being, financial strain, future outlook, and the latent benefits of employment. The study tested (a) the relative contributions of the latent deprivation and Agency restriction models in predicting well-being and (b) whether financial strain interacted with future outlook to predict well-being or whether financial strain was mediated by future outlook. The authors found support for Agency restriction over the latent deprivation model and concluded that examining internal Personal Agency processes is required to explain the decline in well-being. No interaction effects were identified for financial strain and future outlook, but future outlook did mediate the influence of financial strain. Age and length of unemployment were also associated with well-being.

Personal Agency and Personality in adolescence: silent voices and findings.
Journal of Adolescence, 2002Co-Authors: Wim Meeus, Rainer K Silbereisen, Jari-erik NurmiAbstract:Abstract We discuss the studies reported in this special issue on the basis of a descriptive framework. We conclude that implicit assumptions—silent voices, as we call them—concerning the transactional influence between person and environment, and concerning the primacy of Personal Agency exist side by side. We find in the studies both a variable-centred and a person-centred approach, and show that the person-centred approach can complement the variable-centred approach in a fruitful manner. On the other hand, both approaches seem to lead to similar results in the studies reported in this special issue. As a rule, the approaches lead to characterization of categories of adolescents, and moreover they can both be seen as exemplifying transactional thinking in the psychology of adolescence. Personal Agency and Personality are systematically correlated with developmental outcomes, but there are no strong indications that Personal Agency and Personality are important predictors of later developmental outcomes. Such indications are found to a greater extent as regards the influence of parenting and the quality of the parent–adolescent relationship. Finally, there is evidence that peers have their own specific significance in the exploration of developmental options. Copyright 2002 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.

relationship of Personal Agency problem solving appraisal and traditionality of career choice to women s attitudes toward multiple role planning
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1997Co-Authors: Rebecca Smith Mccracken, Lauren M WeitzmanAbstract:The relationship of Personal Agency, problem-solving appraisal, and traditionality of career choice to scores on the Attitudes Toward Multiple Role Planning (ATMRP) scales was examined in undergraduate and graduate women (N = 131) aspiring to both traditional and nontraditional occupations. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed Personal Agency was positively related to the ATMRP scales of Knowledge/Certainty and Commitment to Multiple Roles. Traditionality of career choice moderated the effect of Personal Agency on both Commitment to Multiple Roles and Independence. Problem-solving appraisal factors were also positively associated with Knowledge/Certainty. Both Approach-Avoidance Style and Problem-Solving Confidence predicted Commitment to Multiple Roles, whereas only Approach-Avoidance Style predicted Independence. Educational level was the only variable predicting the ATMRP scale of Involvement. Implications for research, theory, and counseling in multiple role planning are addressed.
