Authors’ adaptation of the Family Stress Model3. The adapted model projects that an increase in (1) economic resources decreases (2) economic pressure in the household. A decrease in economic pressure decreases (3) parent psychological distress, which subsequently increases both (4a) interparental relationship quality and (4b) parenting quality, which are interlinked. Improvements in parenting quality decreases (5) child and adolescent problems. The surrounding environment’s (6) risk and protective factors directly affect each component of the model (1–5) and also moderate the relationships between the components (1–5).
