“…A number of studies have shown that various financial factors can be associated with psychological distress [14][15][16] and that people's mental health may be associated both with their objective financial situations (income, level of savings, and level of liabilities including debt-e.g., References [17][18][19] and their subjective perceptions of their financial situations (perceived income, sense of financial security, and job security-e.g., References [13,14,20]. Additionally, studies have shown that psychological distress may be associated with individual financial dispositions such as materialism, economic optimism, and the propensity to take financial risks [21][22][23].…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many factors have simultaneously affected people’s psychological distress (PD). The most commonly studied types of factors have been those relating to health risks involving SARS-CoV-2 infection and sociodemographic factors. However, financial changes at both the national and global levels and these changes’ influences on people’s personal finances constitute another group of factors with the potential to cause symptoms of anxiety and depression. A correlation study of 1135 working adults in Poland was conducted to analyze the roles of a wide range of financial variables in explaining the extent of people’s PD during the pandemic. Three groups of financial factors predicted PD over and above sociodemographic variables and COVID-19 health-related factors: a person’s objective financial situation, their subjective financial situation, and their individual financial disposition, the last of these being the most important. The present study adds to the current state of knowledge by showing that financial variables explain a significant portion of variance in PD over and above sociodemographic and COVID-19 health-related factors. Moreover, the study also identified individual financial variables that were capable of predicting people’s psychological distress during the pandemic.

“…Economic expectations are expectations of future financial and economic prospects that shape consumer confidence and psychological wellbeing (Evans and Honkapohja, 2001;Kahle, Shoham, Rose, Smith, and Batra, 2003;Nadeau, Niemi, and Amato, 2000). It has been shown that economic expectations, represented by indicators such as the stock index and consumer confidence, strongly correlate with expectations regarding the quality of products and services (Ikeshoji et al, 2003;Ogikubo et al, 2009).…”

Recent research discovered that economic processes influence national averages of customer satisfaction. Using time-series data from Japanese and South Korean hospitals, we conducted principal component regression analyses to examine whether these findings are transferable to patient satisfaction. Our results reveal that aggregate income has a positive impact and economic expectations have a negative impact on patient satisfaction. Further analyses demonstrate that these strong economic influences make it difficult for hospital managers to use patient satisfaction scores to assess the performance impact of their customer-oriented actions. In order to improve performance evaluations based on patient surveys, we thus recommend managers to remove economic influences from time-series of patient satisfaction.

“…To broaden the scope of this study, other relevant measures, such as the Defining Issues Test (DIT) (Rest 1986), deontology (Granitz and Loewy 2006), religiosity, (e.g., Barnett et al 1996), pessimism (Kahle et al 2003), and prudence (Kisamore et al 2007) could be included as antecedents of cheating intentions. Also, the influence of moral intensity on cheating-related emotions is worthy of exploration (Jones 1991).…”

Although the pedagogy literature indicates significant relationships between cheating intentions and both personal and situational factors, no published research has examined the joint effect of personal moral philosophy and perceived moral intensity components on students' cheating intentions. Hence, a structural equation model that relates magnitude of consequences, relativism, and idealism to willingness to cheat, is developed and tested. Using data from undergraduate business students, the empirical results provide insight into these relationships and evidence of mediation for magnitude of consequences on idealism and students' cheating intentions. Implications for educators are offered.
