Abstract
Fear of poverty – verification of its relationship to socio-economic status and selected personality variables
Highlights
The results of the analysis showed that within the examined personality traits, neuroticism was a significant predictor of the fear of poverty; explaining 6% of variance in the dependent variable
Out of the selected indicators of socio-economic status, financial stress (24%) and employment status (5%) became significant predictors. Based on these findings it can be stated that employees with higher levels of financial stress and neuroticism showed a higher level of the fear of poverty
The relationship between socio-economic status and the fear of poverty would be mediated by personality variables and by the neuroticism of a person; which shows the relationship to financial stress (r = -.45) as well as to the fear of poverty (r = .49)
