“…Regarding the investigation of the effects of money on people's decisionmaking, our results suggest that money may be a determinant variable, at least in the Brazilian population. This data is in line with the current literature, as it points out that throughout history, money has played a relevant role in the lives of individuals and societies (Lauer-Leite et al, 2014). It is also indicated that money can be considered a guiding principle used by individuals as a criterion to justify their actions (Lins & Poeschl, 2015) and that through purchasing power, and thus, money, there is a materialization of decision-making power (Silva & Henriques, 2017).…”

One possible explanation suggests that money can be considered an instrument to mediate the satisfaction of human needs (Lauer-Leite et al, 2014), having an extraordinarily large rewarding potential (Skinner, 1967).…”

The inaction inertia effect is a cognitive bias in which forgoing an attractive opportunity reduces the likelihood of accepting a subsequent, less attractive opportunity. This phenomenon was originally demonstrated by Tyckocinski et al. (1995), and the present study aimed to replicate their findings and assess the effect in a Brazilian population. We used an online survey with a translated version of the original questionnaire, as well as an extension scenario. The final sample included 436 participants. We performed statistical analyses using the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test, comparing three conditions ("Small-Difference", "Large-Difference", and "Control") for the four original scenarios and one extension scenario. We also stratified the scenarios into two categories for a second extension investigation: those involving money (Hotel and Car) and those that did not (Frequent flyer and Fitness center), evaluated via linear mixed-effect analyses. We found evidence of the inaction inertia effect in 6 of the 12 comparisons between conditions conducted in the four original scenarios, showing evidence of its existence in this Brazilian sample. All scenarios presented significant differences between conditions (p-values < 0.001; 𝜀² ranging from 0.06 to 0.22), except for the Frequent flyer scenario (p-value = 0.073; 𝜀² = 0.01). We also observed support for the Inaction Inertia Effect in the extension scenario, which shows further evidence of its existence in our sample (p-value = 0.002; 𝜀² = 0.03). Moreover, we found that money was a significant factor in participants' decision-making (p-value < 0.001), suggesting that different decision-making processes are involved when monetary decisions are at stake. This replication-extension study provides evidence of the inaction inertia effect in the Brazilian population, indicating that time passage and cultural differences may not significantly affect this cognitive bias, initially described almost 30 years ago.

“…These perceptions match the meaning attributed to money throughout history. According to Lauer-Leite 9 , money has taken on a key role within the lives of people, institutions and countries, "especially as it is an instrument for mediation that makes it possible to meet human needs, as well as technological, economic and social development". The classic idea that time is money is still present nowadays.…”

Objective: To describe and reflect the possible relationships established by the elderly between happiness and money. Method: It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out from a semi-structured interview with 19 elderly people, in their households, of both sexes in 2017 and 2018, in two states of the South region of Brazil, through content analysis. Results: What emerged in the voice of older people unfolded into two categories: Money as a way of life and Money does not bring happiness. Participants indicated relationships between happiness and money because money is one of the conditions to meet the basic needs of daily life, but it appeared as a propedeutic resource for happiness. They also reported that the obsessive pursuit of money can generate fascination, anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The participants indicated that money is a means to live well and be happy and was not considered the highest goal of their lives. He is not a promoter of happiness, but can contribute to the pursuit of peace, tranquility and inner satisfaction.
