| Description | This study compared the direct effects of time structure and financial deprivation on psychological distress to determine which had the greater impact. The indirect effect of financial deprivation on psychological distress, through its effect on time structure, was also examined. Time structure, financial deprivation, and psychological distress (consisting of scores of self‐esteem, anxiety, and depression) were examined in 201 short‐term unemployed adults (49% female) from Victoria and 113 long‐term unemployed adults (54% female) from Queensland. These samples formed part of two separate longitudinal surveys which assessed variables at baseline, 6‐month and 12‐month follow‐up. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and structural equation modelling. Results showed that psychological distress was directly affected by financial deprivation and time structure. Furthermore, financial deprivation had an indirect effect upon psychological distress through its impact on time structure but only at baseline in the short‐term unemployed sample. Study implications and limitations are discussed. |
