Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits, attachment styles, and financial attitudes. Data were collected from 299 adults using an Information Form, Five Factor Personality Scale, Relationship Scales Questionnaire, and Financial Attitude Scale in Istanbul, Türkiye. Findings of the structural equation modeling showed that fearful attachment and dismissive attachment were positively associated with neuroticism, while secure attachment was positively associated with the remaining personality traits. Extraversion and agreeableness had mediating effects in the relationship between secure attachment and financial attitude. Therefore, professionals need to consider attachment style and personality traits if the aim is to improve financial behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
