Abstract
This study investigated the relationship among family financial stress, parents' emotional-affective support for their children, and academic achievement and depressive symptoms in 105 sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders from farm and nonfarm families. ANOVA results indicated that parents from farm families reported higher levels of family financial stress and of depression than parents from nonfarm families. While multiple regression analyses did not reveal a relationship between family financial stress and maternal or paternal levels of emotional-affective support for their adolescent children, or between family financial stress and the adolescents' academic performance, they did show that family financial stress as reported by parents was strongly related to adolescents' reports of depressive symptoms.
