Recent research by Angell and Test has found that work involvement by individuals with mental illness was associated with:
a. loss of reciprocal network ties
b. decreased satisfaction with social relationships
c. larger network sizes
d. increased loneliness
C
Work involvement by individuals with mental illnesses (specifically schizophrenia) was associated with larger network sizes. Additionally, the study found that neither living situation nor frequent moves had any association with social outcomes later in life. From the study, one can infer that there is a modest support for the role of work involvement in social outcomes.
