Understanding money-management behaviour and its potential determinants among undergraduate students: A scoping review.

Of 789 unique papers identified, 12 papers, reporting 10 distinct studies (six quantitative, two qualitative, two mixed-methods), were entered into review. We inductively categorised all behaviours and psychological correlate
