Abstract

<p>Cues related to financial scarcity are commonly present in the daily environment shaping people’s mental lives. However, the results are mixed on whether such scarcity-related cues disproportionately deteriorate the cognitive performance of poorer and richer individuals. In this Registered Report, we will conduct a large-scale experimental study in a diverse sample to reveal the extent absolute scarcity (poverty) and relative scarcity (abundance) related cues affect the sustained attentional performance of the poor in online contexts, and to investigate when and for whom such detrimental effects appear. We will make three contributions beyond the current state of the literature. First, we will test our hypothesis in a well-powered experimental study involving at least 3,000 participants. Second, we will assess the generalisability of the effect by exploring in which populations, and for what type of scarcity-related cues it arises. Third, we will employ an experimental design that goes beyond the prevalently used design.</p>
