A structural model focusing on the spillover effect of parental perceived job insecurity on money anxiety was developed and tested. The crossover effect of parents' money anxiety on their children's money anxiety, money motives, and motivation to work was also examined. Data were collected from a sample of undergraduates and their parents. Results of structural equation modeling analyses supported a spillover effect of paternal perceived job insecurity on paternal money anxiety. However, maternal perceived job insecurity was not significantly associated with maternal money anxiety. Results also supported a crossover effect of parental money anxiety on youths' money anxiety. Youths' money anxiety was significantly related to youths' negative money motives. In turn, youths' negative money motives were associated with their intrinsic motivation to work. Implications of the findings are discussed.
构建并检验了一个聚焦于父母感知到的工作不安全感对金钱焦虑的溢出效应的结构模型。还考察了父母的金钱焦虑对其子女的金钱焦虑、金钱动机和工作动机的交叉效应。数据来自本科生及其父母的样本。结构方程模型分析结果支持了父亲感知到的工作不安全感对父亲金钱焦虑的溢出效应。然而，母亲感知到的工作不安全感与母亲的金钱焦虑没有显著关联。结果还支持了父母金钱焦虑对青少年金钱焦虑的交叉效应。青少年的金钱焦虑与青少年消极的金钱动机显著相关。反过来，青少年消极的金钱动机与他们内在的工作动机相关。讨论了研究结果的意义。
