[Wellness] Financial Psychology of Worry and Women

["Ricciardi, Victor" <victor.ricciardi@kysu.edu>]

I thought this group would enjoy reading my new working paper on
learning, negative emotion, gender, and money management. The paper is
entitled "The Financial Psychology of Worry and Women."

The abstract of the paper is available at:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1093351

Also, if you scroll down the webpage you can download a PDF file of the
paper.

My paper makes a connection to women issues in two major aspects:

1)The notion of computer anxiety and gender: Women that experienced math
or computer anxiety during their childhood are more likely to have a
fear of investing during their adulthood.
 
2) The link between child development and gender. My review incorporates
about seven studies that documents girls worry to a greater degree than
boys during different phases of their educational years.

All the best,

Victor Ricciardi
