先前的研究表明，长期失业（LTU）会产生负面的情绪损失，但没有探索这种损失如何因性别和婚姻状况而变化。使用混合方法的方法，我们研究了LTU的负面情绪损失是如何由性别和婚姻状况的相互作用形成的。我们的定性研究结果表明，更多的失业已婚男性比女性经历婚姻紧张，加剧了失业的情感损失。我们对调查数据的分析表明，虽然婚姻改善了失业男性和女性的幸福感，但一旦我们控制了家庭收入，这种好处就会消失，对已婚男性来说却没有。这些发现有助于加深我们对性别和婚姻状况如何调节LTU的情感损失的理解。
Prior research shows that long-term unemployment (LTU) generates a negative emotional toll but leaves unexplored how such toll varies by gender and marital status. Using a mixed-methods approach we examine how the negative emotional toll of LTU is shaped by the interaction of gender and marital status. Our qualitative findings suggest that more unemployed married men than women experience marital tensions that exacerbate the emotional toll of unemployment. Our analysis of survey data show that while marriages improve the well-being of both unemployed men and women, for married men but not women such benefits disappear once we control for household income. These findings contribute to the existing literature by deepening our understanding of how gender and marital status mediate the emotional toll of LTU.
