RT Journal Article T1 Mindfully Aware and Open: Mitigating Subjective and Objective Financial Vulnerability via Mindfulness Practices A1 Bayuk, Julia A1 Lee, Hyun Jung A1 Park, Jooyoung A1 Saka, Serkan A1 Talukdar, Debabrata A1 Sinha, Jayati AB Our research presents mindfulness as a potential intervention to mitigate financial vulnerability, defined as the ability to handle unexpected future financial setbacks. As potential interventions to mitigate consumer financial vulnerability, we provide a conceptual framework on how two types of mindfulness practices (i.e., non-judgmental awareness and openness to experience) can mitigate the subjective and objective financial vulnerability differently. We suggest ways to manipulate the two types of mindfulness and discuss the results of our initial pilot study, focusing on lower-income consumers. In addition, we propose fruitful avenues for future research and provide recommendations for managers and policymakers to better address consumer financial vulnerability and enhance consumer welfare via mindfulness practice PB Wiley SN 0022-0078 YR 2022 FD 2022-09-16 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10016/38440 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10016/38440 LA eng NO This research has been supported by Madrid Government (Comunidad de Madrid) under the Multiannual Agreement with UC3M in the line of "Fostering Young Doctors Research" (SOCANET-CM-UC3M) and in the context of the V PRICIT Regional Programme of Research and Technological Innovation.
