Theodossiou’s study looked at a large variety of factors and correlations between low-paid jobs, unemployment and individuals’ psychological well-being. At first he presented a survey to unemployed workers asking a variety or questions regarding mental health. I curious however how in depth this survey was. Especially when a study is done on mental health, there can be instances that people with deep rooted mental health a) wouldn’t volunteer to take a survey and b) admit that they have a mental health issue. The same goes for unemployment. People don’t often like to talk about being unemployed. So these are examples of how the data could be affected throughout this study. Asking these questions to yourself while taking data for a study is vital for the results of the experiment. Next, as I read through the study I was wondering if we could find the causes of the two factors (mental health and unemployment) Is it the unemployment  of individuals that can cause more self doubt, or is it the possible mental instability that gets people fired from their jobs? It could very likely be both. AW mentions, that “data is dependent on the individual’s situation- should be considered when we analyze all data.” (Oct. 8, 2018) This especially pertains to the intricacies of mental health and unemployment, because it can be very difficult to find the true causes and effects of unemployment and mental health.
