Explaining Psychological Distress in a Sample of Remarried and Divorced Persons

The Influence of Economic Distress

ADAM D. SHAPIRO

University of Texas at Austin

This article analyzes a 1986 national survey (N = 2,081) to examine (a) whether there are differences in psychological distress and economic distress between remarried and divorced persons and (b) if differences in economic distress explain differences in psychological distress between remarried and divorced persons. Findings show that, compared to the currently divorced, the remarried have significantly lower rates of economic distress and psychological distress. Economic distress, particularly a subjective assessment, explains a large proportion of the marital status differences in psychological distress. The most profound influence of economic distress on psychological distress is found for divorced women.
