Levels of state anxiety for males facing redundancy and subsequently reporting to be employed or unemployed.
State anxiety scores for male adults, facing redundancy, were elevated whilst subjects awaited dismissal. Six months later, anxiety levels fell most notably for the reemployed. Simple strategies, providing some amelioration for individuals during the stressful anticipation period, were rarely provided by employers.
