A survey explored predictors of perceived control, depression, and loneliness among chronically unemployed adults age 50 and older. As expected, these cognitive and emotional states were significantly related to the situational aspects of unemployment (e.g., length, remaining bene fits). However, they were also consistently related to such personality characteristics as assertiveness and lack of shyness, and the ability to take another's perspective. This article discusses implications for unemployment counseling for older adults.
