Among women who are depressed in widowhood,<u> financial strain </u>appears to be the biggest burden.

While the death of a spouse is emotionally devastating and can affect family finances particularly if the spouse is the breadwinner, women more than men are found to be especially affected.

One reason is that in a heterosexual marriage, the husband tends to be the main income earner. Studies have found that the household income for widows decline by about 37 percent after the death of her spouse. The assets of widows also tend to decline more than widowers.

Often, wives have been less involved in managing family finances, filing taxes, dealing with life insurance policies, etc. and some do not even have their own accounts. This restricts their financial independence if they enter widowhood.

Answer:

The sleeper effect.

Explanation:

As the exercise presents, Jamie heard about a divorce that was published in the RAG MAG, which she does not believe is very reliable. However, over time, she forgot where she heard about the divorce. The fact that she later came to believe the story was true is known as the sleeper effect. The sleeper effect is, as suggested, a psychological phenomenon that relates to persuasion. It is a delayed increase of the effect of a message that is accompanied by a discounting cue. So, in this case, Jamie heard statement X from place A. After some time, she forgot where she had heard it, but the information (statement X) remained in her mind.
