Abstract
Aim. The objective of this article is to consider the issues related to the consideration of financial well-being as a control variable in psychological research.
Methods. The main method is a literature review, comparative analysis and synthesis.
Results. The manuscript presents a number of important theses, in the context of which financial well-being is used as a control variable.
Conclusion. Financial well-being is an increasingly common concept in psychological research models. However, there are a number of unresolved theoretical contradictions behind this, which are important to update in the modern discussion: the ratio of accumulated and operational wealth, taking into account attention when assessing well-being.
