Bolger, Kerry E.; And Others
Child Development, v66 n4 p1107-29 Aug 1995
Examines the effects of persistent economic hardship on children.

Connections between persistent economic hardship and psychosocial adjustment were more pronounced for boys than for girls and were mediated by parental behavior. (AA)
