O problema da pieguice

Quanto mais piegas, menos optimistas.
Quanto menos optimistas, menos ...
"Psychologists have long touted the power of positive thinking—and now a study quantifies that power as it relates to people’s finances. Researchers surveyed 2,002 Americans in 2018 about their outlook and financial well-being, assigning them an optimism score from 0 to 100 and asking questions about how they regard and manage their money. Controlling for demographic factors including wealth and income, they found that each one-point increase in optimism was associated with a 0.1-point increase in financial wellbeing (measured on a scale developed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)—meaning that a more optimistic attitude could be associated with as much as a 10-point increase in financial well-being. The graphs below show how optimists and pessimists stack up on some specific measures."
