Two levels of education (high school or less and training beyond high school) and nine content scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) were used to predict employment-related outcomes among a sample of 109 blind adults. It was found that education, anger, cynicism, obsessiveness, and family problems were significant predictors of employability. Furthermore, 80 percent of the employed subjects and 71.4 percent of the unemployed subjects were classified by low self-esteem, education, and cynicism and the underemployed had higher mean scores than the nonunderemployed on cynicism and Type A behavior.

Treatment Service

Over the last ten years it has been shown that it is possible to treat the majority of patients with acute psychiatric illness in their own homes. Home treatment has been shown to produce a superior outcome to hospital care on measures of symptomatology, subsequent independent living and employment status (Hoult, 1986) self-esteem (Stein & Test, 1980) and may decrease the need for re-admission. Additionally, home treatment decreases the burden felt by the relatives (Pai & Kapur, 1982) and may enable them to cope better with the patient after the acute episode.

Practical Implications

A survey of 371 unemployed people in South East Queensland explored whether deprivation of the latent benefits of employment was able to predict psychological distress after controlling for other key correlates. A standard multiple regression found that the latent benefits (timestructure, social contact, collective purpose, enforced activity, and status) accounted for a significant 13 per cent of the variance in psychological distress, with time structure being the most important unique predictor. However, after controlling for self-esteem, positive affect (PA), negative affect (NA), satisfaction with employment status, employment commitment, and financial strain, the latent benefits did not significantly add to the prediction of distress. The results are discussed in terms of their practical implications for career development.
