Abstract

Are young people more likely to blame themselves than the system for their being unemployed in times of neoliberalism characterized by an emphasis on self-responsibility? And if so, how does that affect their sense of well-being, given that this is known to deteriorate for people when they become unemployed? Inspired by attributional theory we have utilized a mixed-methods approach customized to exploring the attributions of young unemployed people in the Danish welfare state. Based on a quantitative on-line survey (N = 357) we construct and compare scales for self-blame and system-blame and triangulate these findings with analyses from qualitative in-depth interviews with young unemployed people (N = 33). We find that attributing unemployment is under a neoliberal pressure, intensifying internal attributions, contextualized here as self-blame. However, this is not the whole story. Young unemployed people also attribute unemployment to external factors. They also blame the system and criticise governmental laws and rules. Our survey data show that self-blame is negatively associated with subjective well-being more strongly than is system-blame. We discuss the merits of employing a mixed-methods approach to break new ground on how to study attributions in times of neoliberalism, advocating a more culturally sensitive approach that does not reduce attributions to the sheer person-situation dichotomy estranged to everyday life reasoning. We do so by exploring the accounts and attributional patterns among those experiencing unemployment themselves.

情境化归因:年轻的失业者如何自责自己,制度以及自责与主观幸福感之间的关系

摘要

在以自由自负为特征的新自由主义时期,年轻人是否比系统更有可能自责呢?如果是这样,考虑到人们失业后这种状况会恶化,这将如何影响他们的幸福感?在归因理论的启发下,我们采用了一种混合方法,专门研究丹麦福利州年轻失业者的归因。基于量化的在线调查(N = 357),我们构建并比较了自责和系统责任的量表,并通过对年轻失业者(N = 33)进行的定性深入访谈的分析对这些发现进行了三角划分。我们发现归因于失业是在新自由主义的压力下,内部归因加剧,在这里被归咎于自责。但是,这还不是全部。年轻的失业者也将失业归因于外部因素。他们还指责制度并批评政府的法律和法规。我们的调查数据表明,自我责备与主观幸福感的负相关程度比系统责任负相关性更大。我们讨论了采用混合方法的优点,在新自由主义时代如何研究归因方法方面开辟了新局面,提倡一种文化上更敏感的方法,该方法不会减少归因于日常生活推理的纯粹的人地二分法的归因。为此,我们探索了自己经历失业的人的账户和归属模式。他们还指责制度并批评政府的法律和法规。我们的调查数据表明,自我责备与主观幸福感的负相关比对系统责任的负相关性更大。我们讨论了采用混合方法的优点,在新自由主义时代如何研究归因方法方面开辟了新局面,提倡一种文化上更敏感的方法,该方法不会减少归因于日常生活推理的纯粹的人地二分法的归因。为此,我们探索了自己经历失业的人的账户和归属模式。他们还指责制度并批评政府的法律和法规。我们的调查数据表明,自我责备与主观幸福感的负相关比对系统责任的负相关性更大。我们讨论了采用混合方法的优点,在新自由主义时代如何研究归因方法方面开辟了新局面,提倡一种文化上更敏感的方法,该方法不会减少归因于日常生活推理的纯粹的人地二分法的归因。为此,我们探索了自己经历失业的人的账户和归属模式。我们讨论了采用混合方法的优点,以便在新自由主义时代如何研究归因方面开辟新的天地,提倡一种文化上更敏感的方法,该方法不会减少归因于日常生活推理的纯粹的人地二分法。为此,我们探索了自己经历失业的人的账户和归属模式。我们讨论了采用混合方法的优点,在新自由主义时代如何研究归因方法方面开辟了新局面,提倡一种文化上更敏感的方法,该方法不会减少归因于日常生活推理的纯粹的人地二分法的归因。为此,我们探索了自己经历失业的人的账户和归属模式。
