Abstract
This study examines the relationships between financial knowledge, confidence, learning capacity, education and other sociodemographic information and financial behavior. A structural equation model is used to analyze the relationships between the study variables and to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors linked to poor financial behavior among a large Canadian sample. The main findings showed that financial confidence plays a crucial role in explaining financial behavior and that learning capacity explains financial confidence. Overall, our results suggest that financial education should be considerably improved and that additional focus should be placed on financial confidence and individual’s learning capacity in order to mitigate existing financial difficulties, prevent new problems from arising, and develop and implement constructive strategies to achieve specific financial goals. This study contributes to previous research on financial literacy by demonstrating the influence of learning capacity on financial confidence and financial behavior.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
