SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Financial Well-Being Scale Malleability
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170-0048.
Type of review: Submission of an IC under a generic information
collection.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,000.
Abstract: The proposed research examines the malleability of
individuals' responses to CFPB's Financial Well-Being Scale and/or
changes to attitudes and behaviors based on completion of the scale.
Financial practitioners and researchers use the CFPB Financial Well-
Being Scale to measure financial well-being. This experiment will
illustrate whether completion of the Financial Well-Being Scale
immediately after using a financial tool (e.g., creating a budget)
results in either higher or lower Financial Well-Being scores than
completing the Scale without such a tool. The experiment will also test
the robustness of the type of instrument used by testing both versions
of the instrument (the five item Financial Well-Being Scale and the 10
item Financial Well-Being Scale). A maximum of 4,000 participants will
be recruited from the panel maintained by the Understanding America
Study (UAS) to complete the Financial Well-Being Scale Malleability
Survey. The Bureau will collect information on financial well-being and
information related to the budgeting tool including an assessment of
the respondent's experience using the tool, estimates of monthly income
and spending, as well as questions about financial goals, budgeting,
self-efficacy, and willingness to use such a tool in the future. The
CFPB will not receive any personal identifiable information (PII).
Request for Comments: The Bureau is publishing this notice and
soliciting comments on: (a) Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The
accuracy of the Bureau's estimate of the burden of the collection of
information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions
used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be
[[Page 5804]]
collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be submitted to OMB
as part of its review of this request. All comments will become a
matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
