Socioeconomic Status, Family Processes,and Individual Development

Abstract

Research during the past decade shows that social class or socioeconomic status (SES) is related to satisfaction and stability in romantic unions, the quality of parent-child relationships, and a range of developmental outcomes for adults and children. This review focuses on evidence regarding potential mechanisms proposed to account for these associations. Research findings reported during the past decade demonstrate support for an interactionist model of the relationship between SES and family life, which incorporates assumptions from both the social causation and social selection perspectives. The review concludes with recommendations for future research on SES, family processes and individual development in terms of important theoretical and methodological issues yet to be addressed.

His and Hers: Economic Factors and Relationship Quality in Germany

“…Second, we used longitudinal data to test whether economic changes are associated with changes in relationship satisfaction. Most prior work on this topic has relied on cross-sectional data (Conger et al, 2010). Our findings inform theoretical models of economic hardship and romantic relationship quality by providing evidence of a link between these factors …”

Nivel de desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas en estudiantes adolescentes de los colegios públicos de Envigado-Colombia

“…Al respecto, es relevante citar a Acuña et al (2013), quienes resaltan que el ambiente sociocultural influye cognitiva y conductualmente en el cálculo riesgo-beneficio por parte de los adolescentes, de modo que, aunque la capacidad para detectar el riesgo se desarrolla desde muy temprana edad, los adolescentes, influidos por la cultura, tienden a buscar situaciones de riesgo, en función de las recompensas. Algunos estudios resaltan el papel de la situación socioeconómica en la mayor orientación hacia los comportamientos de riesgo en la edad adolescente, indicando que dificultades económicas producen efecto de estrés familiar y conflictos, elevando conductas de riesgo en los hijos adolescentes (Berkowitz, 1969;Conger, Conger, & Martin, 2010;Conger & Conger, 2008;Conger & Donnellan, 2007), y ambientes desfavorables pueden promover la presencia de algunas deficiencias en la autorregulación emocional y conductual (Córdoba Caro, García, Luengo, Vizuete, & Feu, 2011;Londoño & Ospina, 2016). En el contexto del Municipio de Envigado la mayoría de los estudiantes que asisten a las instituciones educativas públicas generalmente provienen de estratos socioeconómicos con pocos recursos (Sistema de Matriculas Estudiantil -SIMAT-, s.f.…”

Perfis de vinculação, coparentalidade e ajustamento familiar em pais recém-divorciados: diferenças no ajustamento psicológico

“…Mais concretamente, investigação prévia tem indicado que a aumentada sintomatologia depressiva nos pais pode estar negativamente relacionada com o funcionamento familiar (Conde, Figueiredo, & Bifulco, 2011;Foster et al, 2008;Keitner, Ryan, Kohn, Bishop, & Epstein, 1995), o aumento do conflito conjugal e o menor envolvimento parental (Cummings, Keller, & Davies, 2005). Características só-cio-demográficas parecem também contribuir para a predição do ajustamento familiar, tais como a idade (e.g., Pacheco, Costa, & Figueiredo, 2009) e os recursos financeiros (R. Conger, K. Conger, & Martin, 2010;Hilton & Kopera-Frye, 2004;Papp, Cummings, & Goeke-Morey, 2009). …”
