Financial Boundary Ambiguity Among Military Spouses

Abstract: Objective The military lifestyle of extended training programs and deployments creates a need to clearly define each partner's roles and responsibilities after each departure and reunion. Background Previous researchers have discovered that the less ambiguity that occurs when an individual enters or departs the family system, the less likely the family is to experience strain or crisis. One challenging area of boundary definition is finances, as couples tend to avoid talking about money which may contribute to… Show more

“…Although in this study parent–child financial discussion was not associated with any endogenous variables, it is possible that discussion could be uniquely associated with financial outcomes not included in the current study, such as financial knowledge. Second, researchers could study family financial socialization in adulthood (e.g., from partners: Çineli, 2020; from parents: Bai & Liu, 2020), especially during transition points (e.g., military deployment: McCoy et al, 2021; financial loss: Keating et al, 2020). Third, we note that the financial attitudes, knowledge, and capabilities element of Gudmunson and Danes's (2011) model has the potential to be applied in answering important questions about how the subjective meaning individuals and families attach to money might affect financial socialization processes and subsequent outcomes.…”

“…The most popular theories among the subset of studies that explicitly employed a formal theoretical framework (59.3%) stem from a variety of academic disciplines. For example, the emotional cycle of deployment model hails from the field of military psychiatry (e.g., Long, 2021), family stress theories and family systems theory hail from the fields of sociology and family science (e.g., Chandler et al, 2018; McCoy et al, 2021), and relational turbulence theory hails from the field of communication (e.g., Knobloch, Basinger, & Theiss, 2018). With respect to research designs, our findings showed a relatively even distribution between qualitative methods (43.5%) and quantitative methods (54.8%), but less admirable was the preponderance of individuals (59.7%) over couples (32.3%), convenience sampling (83.9%) over random or stratified random sampling (16.1%), and cross-sectional data (69.4%) over longitudinal data (30.6%).…”

“…This could be due to the small sample size, or to the differences in family members’ perceptions of their shared family context (Boss et al, 2017). In the context of military deployment, for instance, one spouse is the “stayer” and the other is the “leaver/returner,” which may create different experiences during reintegration (McCoy et al, 2020). Examining these types of within-family variations in military family members’ experiences of reintegration continues to be an important area for future research.…”
