Financial Stress and Coping Resources: A Comparative Analysis of Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics
I am interested in economic stress and coping strategies, including family social support. Using two waves of data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), I have examined cultural patterns of coping in the context of objective and subjective economic stress. I also test competing coping models from the life stress-distress paradigm. I plan to continue this line of study with the recent release of the third wave of the NSFH dataset.
An Ecological Model of Financial Socialization
My other main research interest is the process of financial socialization, particularly the parenting and family components. Based on data collected from college students, the influence of individual, family, and school factors on financial efficacy and behavior are examined with Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model. The financial socialization literature is in its infancy, with the family and parenting components mostly overlooked.
Financial Education and Evaluation
The efficacy of financial education is a related area of research interest. In a forthcoming publication we review financial education evaluation efforts on the national level. On the state level, I serve as an evaluator of the Women and Money financial education program, which is in its sixth year. The program is sponsored by the Ohio Treasurer of State, is a free, day long financial planning workshop for women in Ohio. In 2004, the program was offered in nine Ohio cities to over 3,000 women.
