YOUR personality might change if you are out of work for more than a year.
That's the finding revealed in a paper from a collective of researchers in the UK.
Personality Change Following Unemployment showed being unemployed for a year or longer sours your personality to make you a less appealing and less employable the longer you are without work.
Christopher J Boyce, PhD, of the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom found results challenged the idea personalities were 'fixed' and showed external factors such as unemployment could have large impact on personality.

"This indicates that unemployment has wider psychological implications than previously thought." apa.org reported
A sample of 6,769 German adults (3,733 men and 3,036 women) were tested. Out of this, 210 were unemployed. The survey looked at five key personality traits including conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, extroversion and openness.
Men who were unemployed for more than two years were more agreeable than those men who had not been unemployed.
After two years they were less agreeable, and women were less agreeable after one year.
Men also became less conscientious the longer they were unemployed.
The study suggested the personality changes could create a spiralling cycle of difficulty for people who were unemployed for long periods.
"Public policy therefore has a key role to play in preventing adverse personality change in society through both lower unemployment rates and offering greater support for the unemployed," Boyce said.
The findings were published in APA's Journal of Applied Psychology
