Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between financial resources and psychological uncertainty (i.e., a person’s attitude or propensity toward uncertainty) in a meta-analysis. Using 43 studies, we found a small correlation between financial resources and psychological uncertainty. Self-reported measures showed a slightly stronger relationship with financial resources than behavioral measures.
