A review of the literature indicates that only a minority of youth shift to a more extreme (leftist or rightist) political position because of their experience with unemployment. Rather, unemployment deepens the political apathy of youth because it serves to isolate youth. The learned-helplessness experience of unemployment also contributes to their political apathy. Analysis of 1985 survey data from 536 employed & 220 unemployed youth regarding their political, socioeconomic, & religious attitudes, & their voting behavior, reveals that the unemployed described themselves as "center left," & were more radical on socioeconomic issues & favored a more leftist vote than the employed. The unemployed were also more skeptical about religion & more permissive in sexual ethics. 3 Tables. Modified HA

Van talloze interventies in de jeugdzorg bestaat het vermoeden dat zij werken. Intuïtief voelen veel mensen aan dat zij effectief zijn bij het oplossen van problemen, in het bewerkstelligen van gedragsverandering of in het tegengaan van recidive. Dat geldt bijvoorbeeld voor een strenge aanpak van jeugdige delinquenten, waarbij veel aandacht is voor orde, tucht en discipline, of voor het rondleiden van jongeren in gevangenissen en ze laten praten met gedetineerden. Zon ervaring zal hen ongetwijfeld weerhouden van het uithalen van allerlei rottigheid, zo is de verwachting. Onderzoek naar de uitk

From 1980 to 1982 there were many conflicts between the youth movement & the authorities in Zurich, Switzerland. A study by H. Kriesi (Die Zuricher Bewegung. Bilder, Interaktionen, Zusammenhange [The Zurich Movement: Representations, Interactions, Correlations], Campus Verlag: Frankfurt am Main, 1984) revealed three different social images held by authorities, members of the youth movement, & others concerned. Here, a replication of this study is described in which Q-sort data were collected in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where there is a youth movement of squatters, & the social situation is comparable to that of Zurich in some respects. Rs, who included squatters, local authorities, & others, were found to hold the same social images as found in Zurich, although squatters in Amsterdam do not seem to isolate themselves as much as in Zurich, & the authorities seem to tolerate more. A subsequent exploratory factor analysis of the Q-sort data supports the findings. 4 Tables, 3 Figures, 7 References. Modified HA
