Dear participant:

We are a research group from Grade 11-A under the Accountancy, Business, and

Management (ABM) strand of the University of Saint La Salle - Bacolod City (USLS-Bacolod

City) conducting an descriptive study entitled: “Online Shopping Behavior of Select Youth in

Bacolod City by Level of Financial Literacy”.

You are cordially invited to take part in our survey. Before deciding whether or not to

participate, it is critical that you understand why the study is being conducted and what it will

entail. Please take the time to thoroughly read the following information.

The aim is to observe the online shopping behavior of select youth in the locale according

to their level of financial literacy based on a modified standardized test in order to present any

given solution for well-rounded personal management regarding money. Likewise, the

advantages and disadvantages while doing online shopping, taking into account their level of

financial literacy, is brought to light. Overall, this study will increase the relevance of the

researchers’ results, specifying accurately the needed response from the community in aspects
such as parenting, mental health, or lobbying for the educational needs of schools in Bacolod

City regarding financial literacy as part of the approved standard curriculum

We expect 200 people to agree to take part in this study. The participants of the study

must be 18 to 24 years old that are making income, whichever trade or profession they are in,

who have engaged in online shopping. Since knowledge in ICT (Information and

Communications Technology) is demonstrated, with application of digital consumerism, you

research.

Our group has selected you through a convenience method to answer this questionnaire.

Participation in this survey is voluntary. It is up to you to decide whether or not to take part. If

more cohesive and trustworthy in form and substance.

Giving your name is also optional. Moreover, rest assured that all data collected will be

treated with utmost confidentiality, and will not be shared with a third party. The results will be

analyzed only for academic purposes. Your response will earnestly contribute to this endeavor.
