Mitacs Postdoctoral Research Project Understanding the factors that influence the financial decisions that individuals make is particularly important in difficult economic times. The proposed research seeks to understand the factors that influence financial decision-making under economic stress, with a particular interest in the efficacy of interventions to influence decision-making and the role of financial literacy and related constructs. The project will include a literature review, the development of a new questionnaire-based research tools, and a psychological experiment focusing on decision-making under high and low stress conditions. In addition to contributing to the academic literature on decision-making, it is expected that the research will have practical applications in helping to increase the efficiency of interactions with financial consumers and aid them in completing their tasks, in part by contributing to the development of tools to optimally inform consumers.

November 16, 2022 Return to In-Person Classes and Psychological Factors E. Greenglass This research examines psychological factors associated with return to in-person classes. A risk perception approach is taken by examining perceived health risks of attending class in person vs. the benefits associated with in-person class. Participants will be university students from the participant pool at York University who will fill out an online confidential questionnaire. Ethics approval has been obtained for this study The variables assessed in this research can be grouped into eight categories. First, several variables will assess participants’ experiences with in-person classes such as the percentage of their classes that are held on campus, how frequently they attend these classes, etc. Second, their reported preventive behavior while at the university will be assessed such as the extent to which they wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, social distance, etc. Third, their perceived risk of getting COVID will be assessed. Fourth, the perceived health risks of returning to campus and the benefits of returning to in-person classes will be measured. Coping will be assessed as in Denial, Substance Use and Proactive Coping. Individual difference factors will also be measured including their health in general, experience with COVID in themselves or close others, vaccination history, extent to which they worry, grade average, optimism, and financial threat. Their psychological distress in general including their depression, anxiety, social dysfunction, and loss of confidence will be assessed by the GHQ-12. Demographics will be assessed as well.

This experiment examines the effects of high COVID-19 stress on psychological reactions and feelings by manipulating COVID-19 stress. Two conditions are created to accomplish this goal: a high COVID-19 stress condition and a low COVID-19 stress condition

The present study examines the psychological impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) by exploring the coping strategies and health behaviors enacted in response to the SARS epidemic. Hierarchical linear regression indicated that the use of wishful thinking in response to the threat of SARS was related to both avoiding public places and avoiding people perceived to be possible carriers of the SARS virus, but was not associated with the use of more adaptive health behaviors, such as using disinfectants and hand washing. Conversely, those who reported engaging in empathic responding in response to the threat of SARS were both less likely to report avoiding people perceived as being at a high risk for SARS and more likely to report engaging in effective health behaviors. Support seeking was not a significant predictor of the health behaviors examined in the present study. Results are discussed in terms of coping with health threats and health promotion.

The Financial Threat Scale (FTS) was designed to asses levels of fear, uncertainty, and preoccupation about the stability and security of one's finances. In previous research with Canadian university students, it was shown that the FTS was a psychometrically sound measure, associated with failing personal financial conditions, threat–related personality characteristics, and depreciated psychological health. the present investigation furthers examines the FTS in a diverse set of not–student European samples. Data were collected in four countries using a self– report questionnaire which included measures of ones' financial situation, personality, and psychological health. Results were highly similar to the findings of the previous study. The FTS is uni–dimensional, reliable, and its validity was supported by moderate statistical relations with variables such as job insecurity, self–esteem, and emotional exhaustion. Importantly, financial threat was higher in countries that fared poorly in the recent financial crisis than countries that fared well, and it mediated the relation between economic hardship and psychological well– being. Implications for researchers are discussed. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214804314001220 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.socec.2014.12.001
