In four preregistered studies, we tested implications from a cooperation model that explains victim-blaming as a strategic move, as a way for people to avoid the costs of helping victims (who seem to be unpromising cooperation partners) without paying the reputational cost of being seen as ungenerous, reluctant cooperators. An implication of this perspective is that, if an individual is identified as a poor cooperation prospect to start with, people would be likely to blame that individual for his/her own misfortune, notably by suggesting that the victim was negligent. The four studies presented here support this interpretation, as participants attributed more negligence to an accident victim if that victim had been initially described as less prosocial, either because they denied benefits to others or because they created costs for others.

Personal finance is a topic that has historically been shunned as a point of conversation in academia, often avoided and seldom discussed in medical training. However, this aversion leaves trainees and early career surgeons to make complex financial decisions without sufficient understanding while simultaneously facing the pressures of building an orthopaedic practice-a recipe destined for burnout. This simple review serves to equip young orthopaedic surgeons with the fundamental personal financial concepts essential for making wise financial choices early in their careers.
