Economic Stress, Coercive Family Process, and Developmental Problems of Adolescents.
Conger, Rand D.; And Others
Child Development, v65 n2 Apr p541-61 1994
Tested a model of family conflict and coercion that linked economic stress in family life to adolescent symptoms of internalizing and externalizing emotions and behaviors. Subjects were 378 seventh graders and their families in rural Iowa. Found that spousal irritability and hostile exchanges over money matters increased the likelihood of adolescent emotional and behavior problems. (MDM)
