研究了配偶之间关于经济不确定性的沟通对生物应激反应的影响。样本包括82对拉丁裔和高加索夫妇以及他们的一名青少年。在与配偶的紧张讨论中，经济不确定性低的妻子皮质醇增加幅度最大，而经济不确定性高的妻子皮质醇反应迟钝。经济不确定性高的丈夫表现出皮质醇水平低、反应迟钝的模式。皮质醇升高的妻子使用更多的皮质醇，社区支持率较低。父母向青少年谈论经济问题的程度与青少年的心理健康或生物社会指标无关，但父母的经济不确定性和相互指责与青少年自身的心理健康呈负相关。
The impact of spouses' communication about economic uncertainty on biological stress responses was examined. The sample included 82 Latino and Caucasian couples and one of their adolescents. Wives with low economic uncertainty experienced the greatest cortisol increase to a stressful discussion with their spouse, while wives with high economic uncertainty experienced a blunted cortisol response. Husbands with high economic uncertainty exhibited a low, unresponsive cortisol pattern. Wives who experienced elevated cortisol used more corumination and had low community support. The amount parents talked about their financial worries to their adolescent was not associated with the adolescent's mental health or biosocial markers, but the parents' economic uncertainty and corumination with each other were negatively associated with their own mental health.
