Abstract

The aim of this study was to conduct an integrative review of the literature on Family Financial Socialization (FFS) from the perspectives of psychology and family relationships. To understand how FFS is defined and measured, the review followed the recommendations of the PRISMA Method. A search was conducted for scientific articles with a quantitative design in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, published between 2010 and 2020 in the Scopus, PsychNET, Web of Science, Science Direct, Redalyc, Lilacs, Pepsic, Scielo and Ebscohost databases. The results showed a prevalence of studies carried out in the USA with an adult population and an individual perspective. No Brazilian studies were found. It is concluded that FFS is associated with important outcomes in adulthood, but there is still a lack of instruments for measuring the construct, as well as important gaps in understanding and evaluating aspects that compose the implicit dimension of FFS.
