“…During the Great Depression, for example, families experienced negative financial events. This was linked to reports of many husbands becoming increasingly irritable and angry, reports of increased financial conflict, and reports of increased marital tension (Liker & Elder, 1983). …”

“…From studies of the Great Depression (Liker & Elder, 1983), to the Farm Crisis of the 1980s (Conger et al, 1990;Conger & Elder, 1994), to the most recent recession, macroeconomic difficulties seem to harm couple relationships by increasing feelings of economic pressure. This insight is likely well-known among both financial and relationship practitioners who see the results of continued widespread financial difficulties among their clients.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate elementary school children’s perceptions about the phenomenon of the financial crisis. The sample consisted of 160 school-aged students attending the fifth and sixth grade in schools in a medium-sized Greek city. Initially, students completed a questionnaire examining their views on the financial crisis. In particular, children were asked to define and interpret the economic crisis through two open-ended questions. Then, they were asked to answer 45 Likert-type questions, which examined their perceptions regarding the economic crisis and its impact on their psychosocial development, behaviour, school life, family relationships and society. They were then asked to draw a picture representing whatever comes to their mind when they hear the words <em>economic crisis</em>. The study was completed by conducting interviews among a sample of 10 students, aiming at a deeper understanding of the topic under investigation. During the interviews, children were asked to communicate their views about the economic crisis, their associated feelings and the changes observed in their lives. The analysis of children’s responses to the questionnaire showed that they have linked the economic crisis primarily with its economic impact and secondarily with issues relating to social impacts, political life and the psychological state of the Greek people. Similarly, an analysis of the drawings revealed that their perceptions on the economic crisis are related to the social and economic impact, politics and peoples’ psychological condition. In the interviews, students communicated their thoughts and their emotions which reveal an intense psychological load. Το conclude, our results indicate that children hold the belief that the consequences of the economic crisis adversely affect many areas of their life and as a result people have to deal with multiple crises and not just one.

“…Considerable research suggests that both religion and economic resources are among the most significant sources of stress in committed relationships and are often central reasons for relationship conflict (Day and Acock, 2013;Conger et al, 1990;Coleman and Straus, 1986;Liker and Elder, 1983). Religious values arguably have been a conduit for prescribed roles, norms, expectations, and conduct in interpersonal relationships.…”

“…The ideological mismatch can create arguments and conflict among partners who have yet to embrace these changes (Day and Acock, 2013). Similarly, studies suggest that economic hardships are major life stressors that often are associated with negative influences on the quality of marital interaction (Chevannes, 2001;Chevannes, 2003;Liker and Elder, 1983;Conger et al, 1990). Research indicates that men who experience economic hardship often respond with hostile behavior that may rupture the positive interaction between intimate couples (Conger et al, 1990).…”

While interpersonal relations are an important aspect of people's lives, they are also punctuated by conflict and tension. This study examined relationship conflict among Caribbean couples with an emphasis on experiences and potential determinants. The study is based upon secondary probability data collected in Jamaica, Guyana and the United States. The bivariate results revealed differences in factors associated with conflict among Caribbeans across countries. Multivariate analyses suggest that conflict occurring among partners is complex and contingent on level of relationship satisfaction, closeness to partner, frequency of discontentment and social and cultural backgrounds.
