Abstract

This study examined the association between recession-related employment problems, recession-related housing problems, and marital quality. It used a national sample of married couples between the ages of 18 and 55. The analyses revealed that housing problems were negatively associated with wives’ reports of marital satisfaction and positively associated with wives’ and husbands’ reports of divorce proneness. Feelings of economic pressure fully mediated the association between housing problems and wives’ marital satisfaction and housing problems and husbands’ feelings of divorce proneness. Feelings of economic pressure only partially mediated the association between housing problems and wives’ reports of divorce proneness. Interestingly, recession-related employment problems were not associated with participants’ marital quality.

2007-2009年经济衰退期间，与就业和住房相关的财务压力因素与婚姻结果之间的关系

本研究考察了与经济衰退相关的就业问题、与经济衰退相关的住房问题和婚姻质量之间的关系。该研究在全国范围内选取了年龄在18岁至55岁之间的已婚夫妇作为样本。分析显示，住房问题与妻子报告的婚姻满意度呈负相关，与妻子和丈夫报告的离婚倾向呈正相关。经济压力感完全中介了住房问题与妻子婚姻满意度、住房问题与丈夫离婚倾向的关系。经济压力的感觉只是部分地调解了住房问题和妻子离婚倾向之间的联系。有趣的是，与经济衰退相关的就业问题与参与者的婚姻质量无关。
