title: Models of stress and meanings of unemployment: reactions to job loss among technical professionals.
abstract: The same potentially stressful event may have different meanings to different individuals. Such variation may be explained by reference to different models of stress. Two such models, one based on the concept of person-environment 'transactions' and the other on that of a 'psychosocial transition,' are applied to studies of reactions to job loss among technical professionals.
