Dinheiro e conjugalidade: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

This study is a systematic literature review on the existing Brazilian and international scientifi c production about money and conjugality published from 2004 to 2014. Data bases consulted were PsycINFO, Scientifi c Electronic Library Online (SciELo), Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PePSIC) and Periódicos Capes. Two independent judges searched the bases using the descriptors: “money AND marital fi nances”; “money AND couples”; “money AND marital interaction”; “money AND marital relationship”; “money AND marital confl ict”; “couples AND meaning of money”; “couples AND economic psychology”; “couples AND management of money”; “couples AND fi nancial problems”; 1 Endereço para correspondência: Av.

The search resulted in 1,116 articles. For the analysis, we excluded repeated articles, theses and dissertations, abstracts, and studies that did not associate money with conjugality, resulting in 41 articles. Results showed that: money-based confl icts occur more intensively in early stages of marriage and before retirement; fi nancial disagreements are strong predictors for divorce; and money management is associated to affect aspects and conjugal satisfaction.
