   Results show that unpredictable rather than merely harsh childhood environments exert unique effects on risky behavior later in life consistent with a faster life history strategy, and suggest that there is a developmentally sensitive period for assessing environmental unpredictability during the first 5 years of life.

   If one takes this kind of evolutionary perspective, greed may also have evolved as a life history strategy in response to unpredictable environments. Working to get as many things as possible may give greedy people living in the environments of resource insecurity or scarcity an evolutionary advantage (Chen, 2017b; Krekels & Pandelaere, 2015).

   Are childhood experiences associated with greed in later life?

   • Our findings are novel and important for several reasons. First, they extend previous research because we explored greed as a correlate of childhood environmental unpredictability. Second, this study proposes a mechanism by which childhood experiences may be associated with greed in later life through the mediating role of insecure attachment.
