The scientific study, done by I. Theodossiou, named “The Effects of Low-pay and Unemployment on Psychological Well-being: A Logistic Regression Approach,” aims to show how psychological well-being on individual employees may affect the productivity of the aforementioned subject. The main problem that I have with this study is that in the paper, Theodossiou attempts to quantify human emotions, which he previously acknowledges change on a day to day basis.  I have to agree with one student in my class (initials JB), who wrote, “I still find myself uncertain of how much this data is really telling us.”  For example, Theodossiou decided to correlate all of the test subjects emotions to the amount of money they get paid, but there also may be some external factors that affect productivity in the workplace (i.e marriage issues).
