Abstract
This research study examines individual’s experiences of unemployment from a psychological
perspective. It presents the different psychological and financial effects of unemployment and presents
the different theories developed on the effects of job loss on the individual. It will also examine the
central role which work contributes to an individual’s life. Finally, it will investigate how a person
deals with unemployment and copes with the transition. A qualitative approach was selected as the
research method for this study, through the use of six semi-structured interviews. The research findings
indicate that unemployment can affect an individual’s psychological well-being. Unemployment can
leave some individuals with feelings of worthlessness, a lack of identity, lack of motivation, feelings of
embarrassment and increased stress levels. However, the unemployed do not all share similar
experiences of unemployment as noted in the findings and are not all unhappy with their unemployment
