The findings of this study were as follows:

Fourth graders tended to use money more carefully than second and sixth graders. Furthermore, sixth graders tended to use money more carefully than second graders. Fourth graders paid more attention on product quality than second and sixth graders. Sixth graders tended to be more doubtful and hesitant about money than second and fourth graders.

4. Students who had a weekly allowance above 201 dollars viewed money as the symbol of power-prestige more than students who had a weekly allowance between 0~100 dollars. Students who had a weekly allowance between 1~50 dollars tended to use money more carefully than students who did not have any allowance.
