Recession uncertainty is making people feel stressed about money. As people seek support, research has found that financial literacy plays a role in predicting these anxious behaviours. Canvas8 spoke to psychology Professor Gilles Gignac to learn more.
Gilles Gignac teaches psychology at the University of Western Australia. His research focuses on individual differences, mainly regarding intelligence and its variations among people. He has written numerous academic texts on topics ranging from misinformation to memory and emotional intelligence.
