EAS temperaments as predictors of unemployment in young adults: A 9-year follow-up of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
Mirka Hintsanen M et al. - Higher negative emotionality and lower sociability and lower activity predicted unemployment duration. These results suggest that temperament traits are associated with risk of unemployment. Methods- The participants (n = 1493–1893) were from the population based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
- EAS temperaments were assessed three times during a 9-year period from 1992 to 2001.
- Unemployment status and duration of unemployment were assessed in 2001 when the participants were from 24- to 39 -year olds.
Results- Especially higher negative emotionality and lower activity were associated with greater likelihood of reporting unemployment at the end of the follow-up.
