Family
There are strong reasons to think that families, and their economic
circumstances in particular, influence both parents’
and children’s emotions and behaviors(4.1 pg 2). It is based on evidence from both human and animal
studies that punishing experiences, such as economic pressure,
have a negative effect which can take many forms, such
as despondency, depression, anger, or aggression(4.1 pg 2). Family can change many different emotions and it can also affect daily life. -

Adolescents are quite

in social comparison and reflected appraisal and with meeting
the demands of those considered the most popular in their
peer group(4.1 pg 3). -
