Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Psychology/Clinical.
Financial Stress has been associated with adverse health consequences. Yet, no validated measures exist. Two studies were conducted to produce a valid financial stress scale. Study 1: The scale was administered with other validation criteria electronically to 177 undergraduates. The reliability, validity, and factor structure were evaluated. Results indicate good reliability and adequate validity, suggesting that the measure can be used to assess financial stress. Study 2: This study aimed to validate the measure using cardiovascular reactivity as a criterion. Forty-three undergraduates were assessed for cardiovascular reactivity to laboratory stressors using impedance cardiography. Results suggest that the scale does have predictive validity for some cardiovascular reactivity variables. Possible implications for health are discussed.
