The importance of money to Italian children

Abstract

Explores the attitudes of Italian children to money, with reference to US research which indicates a significant difference between boys and girls. Tests five hypotheses relating to gender differences in respect to money: boys are more positive in their attitudes to it, girls would be uncomfortable talking about it, men rather than women are seen by children as economically successful, sons rather than daughters would try to emulate their fathers’ economic status, and these gender differences might increase through adolescence. Explains the methodology of the study, and relates the findings to Italian society and the Catholic religion. Contrasts the attitudes of Italian parents to boys and girls regarding money: boys are more likely to receive regular pocket money and be expected to achieve highly paid jobs, whereas girls tend to value family or more creative activities.

Is psychology of money a gendered affair? A scoping review and research agenda

Moreover, money attitudes have a greater impact on women's financial capability and management skills than men's (Falahati & Sabri, 2015; Sabri et al, 2017).…”

“…Variabel obsession yang diteliti oleh peneliti dalam menganalisis perbandingan pandangan antar gender didapatkan jika pria lebih merasa obsession dalam melihat uang. Pria adalah calon kepala rumah tangga di masa depan yang akan memiliki rasa sebuah kewajiban untuk memenuhi kehidupan keluarganya dikedepannya, hal inilah menjadi alasan pria selalu mencari uang (Rinaldi & Giromini, 2002). Hasil Peneltian ini juga sependapat dengan Lim dan Teo (1997), Dosco dan Rosci (2000, Zelizer (1989), serta Furhan (1984).Tetapi hasil penelitian ini tidak sejalan dengan dan Falahati dan Paim (2011) yang mengemukakan hal sebaliknya jika wanita menganggap uang sebagai hal utama.…”
