这项研究调查了人们对家庭生活的满意度如何受到经济环境的影响。人们预期，经历过或预计会有经济困难的人对家庭生活不太满意。此外，据推测，当前和预期的经济困难会放大彼此对满意度的影响，当前和预期的经济困难对有子女的人的伤害更大，而且当一个国家的失业率上升幅度更大时。使用2012年欧洲生活质量调查的样本（30个国家的N = 13，013）进行多水平分析。结果确实表明，经历或预期经济困难的人对家庭生活不太满意。预期经济衰退对大家庭的人来说（稍微）更有害。一般来说，当前和预期的经济问题对父母的伤害并不更大，或者当一个国家的失业率上升更大时。
This study investigated how people's satisfaction with their family life is influenced by economic circumstances. Expectations were formulated that people who experienced or expected economic hardship would be less satisfied with their family life. Additionally, it was hypothesized that current and expected economic hardship would amplify each other's consequences on satisfaction, and that current and expected economic hardship was more harmful for people with children and when the rise of unemployment in a country was larger. Multilevel analyses were conducted using a sample from the European Quality of Life Survey 2012 (N = 13,013 in 30 countries). Results indeed indicated that people who experienced or expected economic hardship were less satisfied with their family life. Expecting a financial decline was (slightly) more harmful for people in larger families. Generally, current and expected economic problems were not more harmful for parents or when a country's rise of unemployment was larger.
