Abstract

In the past decade, researchers in New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom have devoted considerable effort to monitoring financial literacy among adolescents and adults and concluded that almost half the population of those countries exhibit serious deficiencies in their understanding of everyday financial matters. Two recent surveys by Australian financial institutions indicate that the situation is no different in Australia, prompting the federal government to call for a concerted effort from all sections of the professional community to address this growing societal problem. To explore the psychological predictors of financial literacy, the present study administered tests of numeracy, general fluid (Gf), and general crystallised (Gc) intelligence to a sample of 126 adults. Despite the fact that the test was not intended to be difficult, 39% of the participants failed to achieve a pass mark. The demographic variables, level of education and annual income, explained 26% of the variance in scores with the cognitive ability measures contributing a further 15%. We conclude by outlining directions for future research and some possible ways in which the discipline of psychology can contribute to this emerging societal challenge.
