The current study examined economic adversity and physical health outcomes in line with the family stress model (FSM) for husbands and wives in enduring marriages. Data came from 243 husbands and wives who participated from early middle to later adulthood. Assessments included observational and self-report measures. Economic hardship and economic pressure were assessed in early middle adulthood. Feelings of hostility and observed harsh couple interaction were examined in middle adulthood, and physical impairment was assessed in later adulthood. Results indicated that economic hardship related to economic pressure. In addition, economic pressure indirectly related to physical impairment via hostility and harsh couple interaction. For husbands, economic pressure was also directly associated with their own physical impairment in later adulthood. Finally, economic pressure was indirectly associated with husband to wife harsh couple interaction through wife hostility. Similarly, economic pressure was indirectly associated with wife to husband harsh couple interaction through husband hostility. Results suggest that economic adversity as experienced in early middle adulthood has long-term health consequences into later adulthood. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究根据家庭应激模型（FSM），考察了已婚夫妇在中年早期至后期所经历的经济逆境与身体健康结果。数据来自 243 名参与研究的丈夫和妻子，他们处于从中年早期到后期的阶段。评估包括观察和自我报告的测量。在中年早期评估经济困难和经济压力，在中年评估敌对情绪和观察到的夫妻间的激烈互动，在后期评估身体损伤。结果表明，经济困难与经济压力有关。此外，经济压力通过敌对情绪和夫妻间激烈互动间接与身体损伤相关。对于丈夫来说，经济压力也与他们自己在后期的身体损伤直接相关。最后，经济压力通过妻子的敌对情绪与夫妻间妻子对丈夫的激烈互动间接相关。同样，经济压力通过丈夫的敌对情绪与夫妻间丈夫对妻子的激烈互动间接相关。研究结果表明，从中年早期经历的经济逆境会对后期的身体健康产生长期影响。
