This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a widely used subjective financial well-being scale (Netemeyer et al., 2018) among a diverse sample of individuals in committed relationships, including different-gender, same-gender, and gender minority couples. Given systemic financial disparities among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations, the researchers examined whether this measure and its subscales (current money management stress and expected future financial security) functioned equivalently across groups.
