Based on Boss’ family stress model, the study examined whether financial adaptations and locus of control mediated levels of financial distress and hopefulness for low-income consumers experiencing economic pressure. Data were collected online from 221 low-income, Midwestern consumers.
This article proposes a family system approach to improve our understanding on family stress processes. Examining effects within (actor) and between (partner) parents, we explored family‐based pathways through which financial stress is associated with adolescent externalizing problem behavior.
The current study describes how positivity can be incorporated into the Family Stress Model to explain resilience to disrupted family processes in the face of economic distress.
Subpopulations have variable connections to specific institutions, such as the military, which can influence their use of social programs and access to resources.
Background: The mental health of children is a primary public health concern; adolescents of military personnel may be at increased risk of experiencing poorer well-being overall and depressive symptoms specifically.
Survey data were utilized to examine the influence of military connectedness and parental deployment on adolescent mental health (i.e., feeling sad or hopeless, suicidal ideation, well-being, and depressive symptoms).
Objective: Since post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common after military deployment and affects both military service membes and their families, we sought to both improve PTSD-related knowledge of military family members and to foster actions to help service members with their symptoms.
An educational website about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was created for military family members in order to increase PTSD-related knowledge and promote actions to help Service members with their symptoms.
Children of military personnel face stress when a parent deploys. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to determine the effect of parental military deployment on the relative rate of outpatient visits for mental and behavioral health disorders in children aged 3 to 8 years.
