Perceived economic stress and lower subjective social status (SSS) have adverse effects on parents’ and adolescents’ emotional well-being, but less is known about associations with academic adjustment among preadolescent youth. This study examined associations between SSS, perceived economic stress about needs and wants, and academic adjustment among preadolescents and early adolescents (n = 136, ages 8 to 14 years, 44% girls, 61% White) and their parents (n = 164, majority middle- to higher SES). Overall, youth who worried more about their family’s economic needs had lower academic achievement and youth who reported lower SSS had lower academic motivation. No significant differences were observed in the strength of associations between parent and youth perceptions and academic outcomes for early adolescents versus preadolescents.

感知的经济压力和较低的主观社会地位（SSS）对父母和青少年的情绪健康有不利影响，但对于青春期前青少年与学业调整的关联知之甚少。这项研究调查了SSS，对需求和需求的感知经济压力以及学前调整（n  = 136，8至14岁，女孩占44％，白人占61％）与父母之间的学业调整（n = 164，多数为中高级SES）。总体而言，对家庭经济需求更加担心的年轻人的学业成绩较低，而报告SSS较低的年轻人的学业动机较低。早期青少年与学龄前儿童之间的父母和青年知觉与学业成绩之间的关联强度没有发现显着差异。
