Abstract

Kertas konseptual ini bertujuan untuk meneroka impak tarif yang dikenakan oleh AS terhadap kesejahteraan psikologi Masyarakat Malaysia. Walaupun kesan ekonomi oleh tarif sering diteroka, kesan psikologi, khususnya dalam landskap ekonomi global yang saling berkait kurang diberi perhatian. Kertas konseptual ini mengetengahkan satu kerangka teoretikal yang menghubungkan polisi perdagangan, ketidakstabilan ekonomi, dan kesejahteraan psikologi individu. Berpandukan sistem ekologi Bronfenbrenner, teori pemuliharaan sumber, dan model proses stres, kertas ini akan mengutarakan bagaimana tindakan ekonomi antarabangsa mempengaruhi kesejahteraan psikologi terhadap masyarakat Malaysia.
