over-indebtedness

A meta-analytic investigation of consumer over-indebtedness: the role of impulsivity

In the past decade, evidence has been accumulated on the relationship between impulsivity and over-indebtedness. Nevertheless, the magnitude of such association is still considered marginal compared to traditional socio-demographic and economic factors, with the important consequence that impulsivity continues to be ignored in policy interventions for preventing and dealing with over-indebtedness. The aim of this study was to meta-analyse existing studies to answer the question: Are higher levels of impulsivity associated with greater over-indebtedness?
