Love and money are important aspects of the everyday lives of
couples. This book focuses on the daily routines of disagreement,
conflict and joint decisions on these, and other issues such as
work, leisure and children, create in the household. Central to the
authors' research is a unique diary study of forty couples, who
kept a daily record of their joint decisions over the course of a
year. The diaries show how challenging, varied and complex the
conflicts and decision making of normal everyday life can be and
reveal that goals frequently change during the decision-making
process with the result that the final outcome often achieves a
goal distinct from the original intention. Furthermore, the
dynamics of decision making differ according to the problem at
stake, the decision-making history of the couple, and the quality
of the partnership. The results of the diary study are discussed
within the overall context of current research in the field as a
whole, including discussion of joint decision-making case studies,
close relationships, decision-making research in general and
special research methods. Numerous results of psychological,
sociological, economic and consumer behaviour studies are
summarised and integrated into a model of household
decision-making. This book will be primarily of interest to
students and researchers in social psychology and economic
psychology, but its interdisciplinary and applied nature will also
make it of relevance to professionals working in the fields of
family therapy and consumer behaviour.
