Description: Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health, Paperback by Norris, Dawn R., ISBN 0813573831, ISBN-13 9780813573830, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The author considers the relationship between job loss, identity, and mental health from a sociological perspective, and the identity threats that can occur, coping strategies, and factors that affect these strategies, including social institutions and social status. She focuses on the period just after the Great Recession, 2, and uses interviews and observations from 25 unemployed people who were in middle-class, white-collar professions, to examine three identity challenges that may occur: feedback mismatch, or interactions with other people in terms of identity; time mismatch, or how an individual no longer feels like the same person; and status mismatch, the incongruence between one's role and social status. She also discusses key social psychological theories and concepts and two types of identity work people perform to cope with identity threats: shifting from a work-related identity to a non-work one, and sustaining a work-related identity, as well as the loss of all sense of self that can occur when these are not options.
