本文对失业对七名歌剧合唱团成员的影响进行了深入的定性调查。本文重点关注他们对这种损失的看法，以及这种看法如何影响职业转型和随后的自我重新定义的经历。解释性现象学分析用于强调处理损失和转变的个体本质。讨论集中在三个主题上，这些主题最能捕捉参与者重新协商自我的心理过程。分析表明，适应职业转型的一个关键问题是重新定义歌手在没有全职工作验证的情况下意味着什么。逆境后成长的有机价值理论（Joseph & Linley，2005）被用作讨论个体在寻求发展自我新领域和恢复既定自我之间的波动的框架。研究得出的结论是，歌手在就业市场上是独一无二的，因为他们与自己的声音有关。对于七名参与者来说，职业中断的经历取决于他们重新评估歌唱作为自我形成的主要推动者的作用的能力。
This paper presents an in-depth, qualitative investigation into the impact of job loss for seven opera choristers. The paper focuses on their perception of this loss and how this perception influences the experience of career transition and subsequent redefinition of the self. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis is used to highlight the individual nature of dealing with loss and transition. Discussion centres on three themes which best capture the psychological process involved in the renegotiation of self for the participants. Analysis shows that a key issue in adapting to career transition is re-defining what it means to be a singer without the validation of full-time employment. The Organismic Valuing Theory of growth after adversity (Joseph & Linley, 2005) is used as a framework within which to discuss individual fluctuations between searching to develop new areas of the self and restoring the established self. The study concludes that singers are unique in the employment market because of their relationship to their embodied voice. For the seven participants, the experience of career disruption is determined by their ability to re-evaluate the role of singing as a primary agent of self-formation.
