焦虑（以及一般的负面心理健康结果）和社会经济状况之间的联系一直是大量研究的主题。然而，影响这种关系的潜在机制尚未完全阐明，也没有扩展到考虑个体差异/心理特征形式的潜在介质。本文调查了一家大型健康零售商超过800万客户的忠诚卡交易，研究了两个想法：使用健康产品购买来检测英格兰地理空间区域的焦虑分布的潜力;以及探索这些产品健康购买，剥夺水平和人格特质之间的关系。具体而言，本分析研究了以下因素之间的协变：在英国地区级地理空间区域内的焦虑购买;平均剥夺水平;和人格特质，在这些地区。与以往的研究结果相反，结果表明，焦虑相关的购买和剥夺之间的负相关，和焦虑相关的购买和贪婪之间的正相关。这表明了各种形式的焦虑及其根本原因和驱动因素的复杂性-但也突出了不同人口统计学在治疗其症状方面所面临的挑战。
The links between anxiety (and negative mental heath outcomes in general) and socio-economic conditions have been the subject of a large number of studies. However, the underlying mechanisms that affect this relationship have not been fully elucidated, nor have they been extended to consider potential mediators in the form of individual differences/psychological traits. Interrogating over 8-million customers’ loyalty card transactions from a major health retailer, this paper investigated two ideas: the potential to use health product purchases to detect anxiety distributions across geo-spatial regions in England; and exploring the relationship between these product health purchases, deprivation levels and personality traits. Specifically, this analysis examined the co-variation between: anxiety purchases within district level geo-spatial regions in the UK; mean deprivation levels; and personality traits, across those districts. Contrary to previous findings, results demonstrated a negative correlation between anxiety related purchases and deprivation, and a positive correlation between anxiety related purchases and conscientiousness. This indicated the complex nature of the various forms of anxiety and its underlying causes and drivers - but also highlighted the challenges faced by different demographics in treating its symptoms.
