Este estudo procura compreender como a ansiedade financeira desencadeia um desempenho cognitivo diferencial entre níveis socioeconómicos (NSE) e de que modo a ansiedade financeira está associada ao absentismo. Esperava-se que indivíduos de NSE baixo apresentassem uma maior ansiedade financeira e que níveis de ansiedade financeira mais elevados estivessem associados a um maior absentismo. Posteriormente, tentou-se perceber se indivíduos com NSE baixo demonstravam uma performance mais diferenciada perante a indução de cenários de baixa versus elevada ansiedade financeira, comparativamente com os de NSE alto. Administrou-se um instrumento, formulado na plataforma online PsyToolkit, que incluía os cenários, as tarefas cognitivas (Stroop e Wisconsin), duas questões acerca do absentismo e uma escala de ansiedade financeira. O instrumento foi administrado a 75 participantes de diversos setores de atividade. No tratamento de dados, recorreu-se ao software IBM SPSS Statistics 25, cujos resultados confirmaram existir relação entre o NSE e a ansiedade financeira, mais acentuada nos grupos de menores rendimentos. A hipótese do efeito diferencial da indução de baixa e alta ansiedade financeira nos dois NSE foi parcialmente confirmada, tendo-se encontrado resultados significativos num das tarefas cognitivas. Finalmente, não se verificaram diferenças significativas em termos de ansiedade financeira em função do absentismo.
This study seeks to understand how financial anxiety triggers a differential cognitive performance between socioeconomic levels (SES) and how financial anxiety is associated with absenteeism. Low SES individuals were expected to experience greater financial anxiety and higher levels of financial anxiety were expected to be associated with greater absenteeism. Another aim of the study was to understand whether individuals with low SES showed a more differentiated performance after being presented with low versus high financial anxiety scenarios, compared with high SES individuals. An overall instrument was compiled via the PsyToolkit online platform, and it included both scenarios, the cognitive tasks (Stroop and Wisconsin), two questions about absenteeism and a financial anxiety scale. The instrument was administered to 75 participants from different activity sectors. Data analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software. Results confirmed the significant relationship between SES and financial anxiety, which was stronger among low SES individuals. The hypothesis of the differential effect of inducing low versus high financial anxiety on the two SES groups, was only partially confirmed, with significant results for one of the cognitive tasks. Finally, there were no significant differences in terms of financial anxiety as a function of absenteeism.
