Abstract

In this paper we explored the relationship between unemployment, financial situation and the number of conflicts between family members. We set two hypotheses. The first hypothesis states that students with one or both parents unemployed will give lower estimates of the financial status of their families and higher estimates of the number of conflicts between members of their families than students with both parents employed and students with one or both retired parents. The second hypothesis states that the mentioned differences in estimates will still be present even when we statistically control the influence of the families' financial status. We gathered information from a convenience sample of 295 families from Croatia. We confirmed both hypotheses using analysis of variance and analysis of covariance. Students with one or both parents unemployed really did estimate their financial status as worse and the number of conflicts in their families as higher than the other students, and these differences were present even when we statistically controlled the influence of the families' financial status.
