Families Coping With Financial Difficulties

Presented by: Jeffrey Dew, Mark Jackson, Suzanne Bartholomae, Jonathan J. Fox, David Schramm, Adam Galovan, Greg Brooks, Graham McCaulley, Tyler Jamison

The studies in this symposium examine different dimensions of financial coping. The first studied the financial, attitudinal, and behavioral factors that may help married couples avoid relationship quality decline in times of economic pressure. The second assessed whether financial coping differed across different race and ethnic groups. The last studied how individuals financially cope with divorce. The studies examine novel research questions, incorporate family diversity, and are ready to present.
