The hypothesis of researchers on the subject, has been that the negative impact that certain external factors may have on the development of emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents, is directly shaped by family structure and dynamics. In many cases, stress factors can modify the family environment to such an extent that they become dysfunctional”

One of the most commonly studied factors of familial pathology has been their economic situation. Different research has brought to light that economics has a negative influence on psychological well-being and family relationships. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of studies which show the influence of economic stress on children and adolescents is shaped by the type of relationship that exists between parents and children. However, the processes through which economic stress can generate emotional “distress” or negatively affect family relationships still haven’t been adequately proved and clarified. One attempt to clarify such processes is that of Conger and colleagues, whose theoretical model proposes that economic stress experienced by parents increases both disharmony and conflict between parents and problems between parents and children over money-related issues. Specifically, they claim that economic stress among parents provokes high levels of irritability in the couple alongside more stubborn attitudes in relation to money management which can, in turn, result in more general hostility towards their children. These hostile and coercive behavioral changes towards children can generate or increase any emotional and behavioral problems they may have.
