Source: prepared by the authors. Note. HC: heteroscedasticity correction. Model 1 describes the association between behavior, knowledge, PsyFactor1, PsyFactor2, and the socioeconomic variables. Model 2 includes additionally grit, resilience to the future, and retirement contribution as explanatory variables to behavior. Model 3 describes the association between preparedness, behavior, socioeconomic, and retirement contribution variables. Model 4 is similar to the previous one, but resilience is the explained variable, and in model 5 FWB.  < 0.1,  < 0.05, and  < 0.01.
