Family economic hardship during adolescence affects family relationships and the social, emotional, and behavioral development of a substantial number of American youth. Ample evidence shows that economic hardship can be detrimental to adolescent well-being through its effects on parents’ well-being and the quality of the marital and parent-child relationship.1 Because most research has focused on parents’ perceptions of economic hardship, little is known about adolescents’ views of their family’s economic situation and its relationship to adolescents’ family experiences. In this brief, we examine adolescents’ perceptions of their family’s economic climate and its link to parent and sibling relationships. The ecological model of development provides a useful theoretical framework for examining how the environment influences adolescent family relationships. According to this model, there are levels of interaction, some more immediate and some broader, that combine to influence family relationships. More remote family environments, such as the family’s economic status, can affect all family members and are likely to affect parent-child and sibling interactions. These interactions influence adolescents’ family experiences and development. Although adolescents have little control over family economic hardship, the nature of their perceptions of that hardship may play a direct role in their family relationships. In adolescence, youth begin to evaluate their environment with more awareness. Adolescents who perceive their family as unable either to meet its financial obligations or to secure basic material goods and services2 may be vulnerable to economic stress and its influence on family relationships. Like parents who report greater economic pressure, adolescents may have higher levels of anger, frustration, and distress that are reflected in their parent and sibling relationships.3 Key Findings
