Abstract:
Economic prosperity in energy‐dependent regions has created unique opportunities and challenges for individuals, families, and communities. This study demonstrates how theory and research can guide family and consumer science ( FCS ) professionals in helping people adapt to disruptions caused by economic cycles. Evidence is derived from primary interviews with family business owners and others in the B akken area of western N orth D akota, and secondary data from the U inta B asin area of U tah. The study provides guidance to FCS professionals interested in helping people understand challenges, adjust to change, and implement best practices in communities impacted by boom and bust cycle disruptions.
