The Psychology of Money
Integrating information from many international sources, this presentation will be of great interest to everyone, as it will give a psychologist’s explanation and perspective of customer attitudes and behaviours towards money.

The content will examine such subjects as:

  • Money pathology
  • Emotional associations
  • Causes of debt
  • Money behaviour today
  • How wealth affects self-image
  • Cross-cultural differences

On some levels we know our attitudes to money reveal a lot about us which we would often rather keep private; Professor Adrian Furnham will use extensive research to help shed more light into this fascinating subject.
