CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Money is typically defined as a means of exchange that allows people to fulfill their

needs by purchasing goods (Gąsiorowska & Zaleśkiewicz, 2023). However, money

becomes empowered with different meanings. Psychologists are interested in attitudes

toward money, and the effect money has on human relations (Furnham, 2014).

In recent decades, several branches of science have begun to investigate the

meanings given to money, which have contributed to the classic understanding of

money as a purely neutral object through a multidisciplinary perspective. In particular,

the construct of money attitude, which is defined as a reflection of money-related

perceptions, beliefs and feelings, has received attention.

This study aims at assessing perception as it defines the attitude and behavior of

students in Grade 10 at BBNHS that defines a combination of good and evil attitudes

towards money, with financial self-efficacy acting as a mediator and mindfulness as a

moderator. In addition, it helps in field area selection, as it is among 10 students at

BBNHS.

Money has a highly charged symbolic meaning because people attribute to it other

attributes related to its function as economic exchange (Gasiorowska, 2014; Luna-

Arocas & Tang, 2004, as cited by Sesini & Lozza, 2023). Attitude toward money

successfully mediated the effect of financial literacy and perceived financial security on
BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 2

students' financial behavior. A 2016 University of Cambridge study found that attitudes

toward money are strongly correlated with financial behavior and outcomes. In

addition, research published in the Journal of Consumer Research in 2018 shows that

attitudes towards money can be influenced by social norms, peer pressure and

advertising, which influence financial decision-making processes.

Attitudes and behavior towards money are key aspects of the economic dynamics of

individuals and society and deserve extensive research in various fields. A nuanced

understanding of these phenomena has important implications for personal financial

management, economic policy and social welfare. The purpose of this research is to

delve into the complex interaction between attitudes to money and subsequent behavior,

which includes psychological, sociological and economic dimensions.

Several disciplines have begun to investigate the meanings of money in recent

decades, which has helped to challenge the traditional notion of it being a neutral

object.

The concept of money attitude, which is characterized as a reflection of money-

related thoughts, feelings and views, has received considerable attention. Previous

reviews of the psychological perspective of money reviewed methods and

demographics, but without a systematic approach (Furnham & Grover, 2022; X. Wang

et al., 2020).

Socioeconomic factors such as income level, employment status and social class

profoundly influence financial attitudes and behaviour, reflecting wider structural


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 3

inequalities in society (Dew, 2017). These factors shape people's perception of money

and their financial practices.

Budgeting is the process of devising a budget that involves setting objectives,

monitoring expenditures and allocating money for various expenses and savings.

According to Dr. Robert L. Lawson, the Journal of Applied Business and Economics

(2015) emphasizes the impact of psychological factors on budgeting success and

emphasizes the importance of attitude toward money in forming financial habits.

Money attitude is a concept that involves the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral

responses of individuals when it comes to money. things a lens through which

economic decision-making processes are analyzed (Furnham, 2014). Deeply rooted

beliefs, values, and perceptions about wealth, consumption, saving, and investing shape

people's attitudes toward money.

Financial literacy is an important determinant of money attitudes and behaviors, and

higher financial literacy correlates with more prudent financial literacy. Behaviors such

as budgeting and investing (Lusardi & Mitchell, 2014). Efforts to improve financial

literacy are needed to enable people to make informed financial decisions.

Based on the background of the above problem, the objectives of the research are:

to analyze the perception of students towards money and their behavior, analyze

attitude towards money, financial socialization and money experience in financial

knowledge and study the influence of good and bad attitudes, behavior through

financial knowledge of students.


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 4

Background of the Study

The escalating trend of a growing population lacking fundamental money ethics

raises profound concerns regarding the potential repercussions stemming from their

uninformed financial decisions, casting a shadow over the long-term sustainability and

stability of their financial well-being.

In the present era, some individuals spanning across different age groups, including

parents, seniors, and even tenth-graders enrolled at Bagong Barrio National High

School, are actively engaging in thoughtful contemplation regarding their financial

perspectives. This is associated postively with theoretical, economic, and political

values and associated negatively with aesthetic, social, and religious value. This

involves a deliberate decision-making process wherein they assess and determine the

appropriate amount of funds to allocate for their day-to-day necessities.

While an increasing number of tenth-grade students at Bagong Barrio National

High School are expressing their perspectives on financial matters, a notable gap exists

in their comprehension of how these individual beliefs concerning money may

intricately influence their overall financial situation. The existing body of literature on

this subject is characterized by a discernible scarcity of empirical evidence, thereby

presenting a challenge in substantiating the proposed theory regarding the correlation

between students' perspectives and their actions.


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 5

Nevertheless, the imperative for delving into extensive research on this particular

subject matter becomes evident, as it serves the dual purpose of not only addressing and

bridging the existing gaps in our comprehension of this issue but also carries significant

implications for tenth-grade students who are actively pursuing a comprehensive

understanding of Money Ethics. In essence, the exploration of this topic not only

contributes to the refinement of our knowledge base but also holds the potential to

directly impact and shape the ethical perspectives of these students in their financial

pursuits.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter presents different related studies about this research to give researchers

further knowledge and insights.

Money Attitude and Financial Literacy

Attitudes towards money are a key factor in shaping how individuals handle their

finances. Sesini & Lozza (2023) and Henchoz et al. (2019) explain that one's money

attitude is formed by their perceptions, beliefs, and emotions about money, as well as

their behavioral tendencies related to finances. This attitude has a significant impact on

how people manage their money.

On the other hand, financial literacy is the ability to comprehend and apply various

financial skills, such as managing personal finances, creating budgets, and making wise

investment choices. It involves making intelligent decisions with money, like setting
BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 6

aside savings, planning a budget, and selecting profitable investments. Financial

literacy also encompasses understanding financial products and concepts, as well as

effectively managing debts and risks. Having a solid grasp of these financial

components and skills is essential for individuals to effectively handle their personal

finances and make informed decisions about their money (Fernando, 2023; Annuity.org,

2023; Corporate Finance Institute, 2023).

Demography, Differences on Age and Gender on Financial Literacy and Attitudes

Toward Money

A study by Lay and Furnham (2019), used their new questionnaire consisting of 30

items with five factors: achievements and success, power and status, mindful and

responsible, saving concerns, and financial literacy worries. Results showed that

demography, ideology, and self-rated happiness, success, and adjustment were related

to all five factors, especially the first two.

Moreover, another study by Fenton-O’Creevy and Furnham (2022) showed that

demographic variables accounted for 27% of the variance, money attitudes an

additional 14%, and financial capability an additional 24%.

Numerous study has shown difference between men and women on financial

literacy and attitudes toward money.

Gender significantly influence the money attitude particularly related to money as

power and prestige as per Furtner (2020). Moreover, research conducted by Furnham et

al. (2014) show that men are more likely to represent money as power and security
BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 7

compared to women. Additionally, another study conducted by Mihály et al. (2017)

show almost the same result. For men, money means source of power and prestige

compared to women.

Another study by Purev (2018) in Mongolia also showed almost the same result.

Men represents money as a symbol of power and status compared to women, however

there are no significant difference on age.

Additionally, single-employed men had the most positive attitudes towards money

and single-employed women had the most negative attitudes (Meimandi et al., 2021),

further supporting the results of numerous research study.

Last, a study conducted by Renanita (2016) found that men view money as power

compared to women, and another study in Turkey show the same results with men are

tend to perceive money as power compared to women (Atta & Sayılır, 2019).

Another study by Sesini et al. (2023) revealed that men and women hold different

conceptions of money, with men looking at money as a symbol of success, and women

holding more ambivalent attitudes toward money as both a source of anxiety and a

means to secure security and prove their love.

However, according to research study by Angelova (2020), women perceived

money in a positive way compared to men, in contrary to previous findings created by

numerous researchers.

Numerous study has also shown difference on attitudes toward money based on

their age as conducted by numerous researchers around the world.


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 8

Regarding age, younger students and those aged 27 and 34 would rather see money

as a source of power and prestige, based on findings by Mihály et al. (2017).

On the other hand, people aged 20-25 described money as source of respect, symbol

of achievement and means of expressing abilities than younger people aged less than 20

years (Owusu et al., 2021).

Moreover, students aged 18-24 view money as a tool of power, use money to either

impress or dominate people as well as a source of protection from anxiety (Mulyani et

al., 2018).

Furthermore, students years view money as a tool of power, to either impress or

dominate people, and regard money as a source of anxiety and protection from anxiety

(Sharma et al., 2015, Fatoki, 2015).

However, it has emphasized age-related differences in the representation of money,

with young people inclined toward a negative perspective towards money compared to

other generation (Sesini, 2023) contrary to findings from previous research.

On the other hand, anxiety is the most influential money attitude factor on

Universiti Selangor (UnisEl) students, unlike other research conducted by previous

researchers (Kamis et al., 2020).

However, according to Talaei & Kwantes (2016), no significant correlation between

age and gender and attitudes toward money, contrary to numerous findings by different

researchers. Moreover, a study by Sulillari (2020) described that attitudes toward


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 9

money among male and female students from Albania are similar with different levels

of income.

On the other hand, age and gender has significant difference on financial literacy. A

study conducted at Cagayan State University discovered that older students have higher

financial literacy rates (Dulin, 2016).

Moreover, a study from the University of the Philippines Visayas revealed that

financial literacy is different for male and female students (Cainglet et al.,2023). Males

are tend to budget compared to females.

Work, Income and Earnings as Factors on Attitudes Toward Money

Individuals’ attitudes toward money may differ based on income and earnings

(Gąsiorowska, 2015).

According to research by Goidani (2021), non-earning individuals were found to

have higher levels of distrust in their attitude towards money compared to earning

individuals.

It reveals the role of attitude towards money as a strong predictor of financial well-

being (Utkarsh et al., 2020), and individuals' motivation to work was found to be

connected with their money attitude (Monteiro et al., 2015). And a research conducted

by Gasiorowska (2015), revealed that the affective dimension of money attitudes has

slightly changed the relationship between income.


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 10

On the other hand, another factor is over-indebtedness and indebtedness (Almeida

et al., 2021). Non-overindebted customers showed more positive attitudes toward

money than those over-indebted customers.

Beliefs and Attitudes of Money as Factors of Financial Well-being

According to Ratnawati et al., 2023, there are some effects of financial attitudes on

financial well-being and financial performance. Moreover, it analyses financial well-

being to mediate the effect of financial attitudes on MSME financial performance.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) states that there is a direct effect of financial

attitudes on financial well-being and financial performance and financial well-being

can mediate the effect of financial attitudes on financial performance. Moreover,

Individuals’ financial well-being has been recognised as an important concern to reach

individuals’ general well-being and societal welfare.

Understanding how individuals can ensure a good state of financial well-being is a

critical question. However, previous studies have not paid enough attention to

underlying the mechanisms by which individuals achieve financial well-being. The

purpose of it is to influence the attitudes of individual financial well-being to money.

(González et al., 2020).

Enhancing trend of better financial management practices is essential, especially for

working employees due to the increased levels of existing personal indebtedness, and

increasing focus on personal responsibility for financial planning among them. Money

attitude, financial practices, self-efficacy, and emotion coping had conspicuous


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 11

contribution to financial well-being , while financial practices were identified as the key

performing aspect to financial well-being.

(Sabri, Wijekoon, and Rahim, 2020). Financial socialization experience is directly

and positively associated with young adults' financial knowledge and financial

motivations (goal-oriented financial planning and self-control ability) and there are

indirect and positive associations between financial socialization and young adults'

perceived financial skill, financial behavior, and financial and subjective well-being.

Moreover, perceived financial skill significantly mediates the relationship between

financial motivations and financial management behavior and could indirectly influence

financial and subjective well-being. As a result, they are find positive associations

among financial management behavior, financial well-being, and subjective well-being

of young adults. (Fan, Lu, Park, Nang, 2021).

This descriptive-correlation study aims to assess the current financial behavior and

financial well-being of Filipino teachers and further investigate the different factors

related to these variables. Descriptive statistics revealed that teachers have a high level

of financial literacy, attitude, behavior, and well-being. Structural equation modeling

showed that financial literacy is significantly related to both financial behavior and

financial well-being, while financial attitude is significantly related only to financial

behavior but not to financial well-being. It also revealed that financial behavior has the

strongest effect on teachers' financial well-being, which also played a significant


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 12

mediating role in the relationship of financial literacy and financial attitude to financial

well-being. (Manalo, Uy, Bayona, 2024).

Financial Literacy as Factors on Attitudes Toward Money

Financial literacy may also influence their attitudes toward money (Susilowati et al.,

2020) and financial behavior (Garg & Singh, 2018). As well as that, other findings

showed that financial attitude and financial behavior have a stronger connection with

financial literacy than financial knowledge (Rai et al., 2019), and financial knowledge

(Allam & Khalil, 2023).

However, a study in Uzbekistan found out money attitude did not have a significant

impact on financial literacy (Isomidinova et al., 2017) contrary to a research conducted

in later year.

Status Consumption and Materialistic Tendencies Usage Influences Attitudes

Toward Money

Status consumption and materialistic tendencies also influenced their attitude

towards money (Van Schalkwyk et al., 2019). And social status may correlate with their

attitude toward money (Muzikante & Škuškovnika, 2018).

People who value material goods tend to use the money to show their power and

prestige, and (Halim & Dinaroe, 2019) money attitude affects significantly the purchase

decision of material things.

Family and Peers Influencing Attitudes Toward Money


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 13

Family, peers, and friends may affect their attitude towards money (Taneja, 2014;

Nga & Yeoh, 2015; Kübilay & Tunçel, 2021).

As acknowledged in earlier studies, children adapt their outlook towards money due

to their behavior. Family, peers and friends are the major social agents for the

development of attitudes toward money. Moreover, parental influence and peer

influence significantly changes attitudes toward money.

Synthesis

Multiple factors has influenced the financial literacy and attitudes toward money.

Conducted by multiple researchers, demography has differences on financial literacy

and attitudes toward money especially on age and gender. Men and women has

different attitudes toward money and financial literacy, and also there are findings that

attitudes toward money and financial literacy differ based on respondents’ age.

On the other hand, personality, ideology and beliefs influenced attitudes toward

money. Moreover, family and peers influenced attitudes toward money.

Another factors are work, income, spending, debt and earnings has also influenced

attitudes toward money.

To sum up, attitudes toward money and financial literacy may differ on every

individuals based on numerous factors, notably age and gender.

Significance of the Study


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 15

This research was undertaken to know the perception of grade 10 students of

Bagong Barrio National High School about money. The following will gain from the

study's findings:

Students. The insights garnered from this study will provide additional information

on how they perceive and handle money, encouraging more responsible and correct use.

The study will empower them with the knowledge to manage their finances wisely and

they may know their perceptions toward money, whether it's about saving for the future,

spending within their means, or making smart investments.

Teachers. The outcomes of this study are particularly beneficial for teachers, as

they provide a comprehensive understanding of how money influences their students'

attitudes and beliefs. By grasping this relationship, teachers can incorporate lessons on

financial literacy into their curriculum, thereby helping students develop a balanced and

informed perspective on money. Understanding the impact of money on their students'

mindset will also enable teachers to address any misconceptions and promote healthy

financial habits.

Parents. This study holds significant value for parents as it provides insights into

the critical role that plays in shaping their children's attitudes and perceptions toward

money. By understanding the influence of financial matters on their children's mindset

and behavior, parents can better guide their offspring towards responsible money

management.
BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 16

School Community. The findings of this research can inform and guide the school

community in developing effective strategies to teach financial literacy to students. By

understanding the impact of money on attitudes and behaviors, schools can design

comprehensive programs that equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to

make informed financial decisions.

Researchers. This study holds great potential in helping them understand the

significance of addressing the current issue of financial literacy and comprehending the

influence of money on the minds of grade 10 students at Bagong Barrio National High

School. Through this research, researchers can gain insights into the underlying factors

that contribute to the financial literacy gap and perspective towards money among

students and also researchers can develop targeted interventions and educational

initiatives to bridge the gap and equip students with essential financial skills.

Future Researchers. This study serves as a valuable resource of both conceptual

and research literature, especially for those who plan to conduct studies related to the

topic of the present study. Future researchers can build upon the findings, theories, and

methodologies presented in this study to deepen the understanding of the subject

matter, explore new angles, or investigate related topics.

Scope and Delimitation

The geographical scope is confined to Bagong Barrio National High School,

specifically focusing on Grade 10 students within the school premises. The study
BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 17

participants will be limited to the age bracket of 15 to 18 years, ensuring a consistent

and targeted sample. Utilizing the Money Ethic Scale as the primary research

instrument, a standardized questionnaire designed to measure attitudes and beliefs

about money, the study will employ quantitative data analysis methods with the aid of

statistical tools and software within a specified time frame during an academic term.

Delimitations acknowledge certain restrictions, including the exclusive focus on

Grade 10 students, limiting the generalization of findings to other grade levels or

schools. The age range limitation to 15 to 18 years ensures a cohesive demographic

group for analysis. The study is also context-specific, considering only the cultural and

socioeconomic context of Bagong Barrio National High School. The reliance on the

Money Ethic Scale as the sole data collection instrument may restrict the exploration of

other factors influencing financial behavior. Additionally, the temporal constraint

acknowledges that the findings may be specific to attitudes during a particular

academic term.

Further considerations for enhancing the research study involve the inclusion of

additional survey items to provide a more nuanced understanding of money ethics

among Grade 10 students. These survey items could explore aspects such as parental

influence, the impact of extracurricular activities on financial attitudes, and potential

variations in money ethics across different grade levels or schools. These adjustments

aim to broaden the study's perspectives and provide a more comprehensive


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 18

understanding of Grade 10 students' perceptions of money ethics at Bagong Barrio

National High School within the framework of a survey-based approach.

Theoretical Framework

Figure 1

Theory of Money Attitude


BAGONG BARRIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Page
THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 19

This study, which focuses on the Money Ethic Scale is supported by the theory

provided. This study has been supported by the Theory of Money Attitude by Tang

T.L.P. (1988). This study is anchored on Money Attitude even though money is

important in everyday life, there is a lack of empirical material and research concern

about the meaning of money and people's attitudes towards money in the psychological

literature. The results of a principal components factor analysis identified six

interpretable factors: achievement and obsession, good, power, expression, evil, and

management of money. The overall value of money was associated with theoretical,

economic, and political values and was negatively associated with aesthetic, social, and

religious. This theory is related to our study because many of the students have

imprinted in their minds that we need money in daily life.

Conceptual Framework

THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT 20

In this conceptual framework, the independent variables encompass two main

aspects: Students profile and money attitude and behavior. The students profile is

characterized by demographic factors such as age and sex. These variables provide

insight into the unique characteristics and backgrounds of participants, which may

influence their perceptions and behaviors related to money.

1.1 Age: Serves as a significant determinant in understanding how individuals

perceive and manage money.

1.2 Sex: Gender differences can also play a role in shaping money attitudes and

behaviors.

Money attitude and behavior encompass three key dimensions: success orientation,

budgeting practices, and beliefs about money's nature.

2.1 Success Orientation: This dimension reflects individuals' beliefs and behaviors

be influenced by age and sex.

Recommendations

Based on the conclusions drawn from this study, the following research

recommendations are proposed:

1. More studies could look into the reasons why grade 10 students have a neutral

attitude towards money and behavior. This could shed light on why they feel this way

and how it affects their financial actions.

2. It might be useful to compare how feelings about money and behavior change

across different age groups, not just among grade 10 students. This could give a wider

view of how these feelings develop as people grow.

3. Considering that age and gender affect how grade 10 students view money and

behavior, future research may look into how these factors shape their views. This could

include a detailed study of how society and culture play a part.
