Two hundred and one unemployed men and women participated in a cross-sectional study that assessed self-esteem, financial deprivation, number of alternate roles, and use of social support. Financial deprivation, alternate roles, and social support each had a main effect on self-esteem. In addition, these variables interacted with gender to affect self-esteem. Specifically, financial deprivation had a greater negative association with self-esteem in men as compared with women. In contrast, alternate roles and social support had a stronger positive relationship to self-esteem in women than in men. The incorporation of these findings into intervention programs for unemployed persons is discussed.

Good for the Soul: the relationship between work, wellbeing and psychological capital (2009, background): “and support from applied research for each theory has led to suggestions that they be integrated (Muller et al., 2005; Waters and Moore, 2002).”
Protean career attitudes during unemployment and reemployment: A longitudinal perspective (2014, background): “…who manage their careers from a protean orientation do not tie their career identity to the organization and, thus, a disconnection with the organization via unemployment may be less likely to lead to the identity loss that is typically reported by people during unemployment (Waters & Moore, 2002).”
Self-esteem during university studies predicts career characteristics 10 years later (2007, unknown): “…various concepts have been used in describing it, such as occupational success (Judge & Bono, 2001), unemployment (e.g., Kokko & Pulkkinen, 1998; Winefield, Tiggemann, & Winefield, 1992), and re-employment (Caplan, Vinokur, Price, & Van Ryn, 1989; Waters & Moore, 2002; Winefield & Tiggemann, 1985).”
Individual responses to firm failure : Appraisals, grief, and the influence of prior failure experience (2014, background): “Firm failure can be accompanied by a change in role identity and role disruption for the entrepreneur (cf. Amundson, 1994; Brenner and Bartell, 1983; Waters and Moore, 2002) and can result in feelings of being stigmatized, thereby leading to a loss of social identity and feelings of self-worth…”
Psychological and physical well-being during unemployment: a meta-analytic study. (2005, background): “Recent research suggests that changing gender roles have allowed work to take a more central presence in the lives and identities of female workers (e.g., Lee & Owens, 2002; Waters & Moore, 2002a).”
Parental Job Loss and Children's School Performance (2011, result): “While speculative, these arguments are also consistent with empirical studies documenting that the mental distress experienced by displaced workers is generally more severe for men than women (McKee-Ryan et al. 2005, Grzywacz and Dooley 2003, Waters and Moore 2002).”
