Abstract:
Spending behavior of an individual especially younger generations tend to be alarming as studies
revealed that they will cover large amount of consumer spending this year. Those youths may not
lead to financial problems on their adulthood if they know how to manage their money wisely. The
parents’ or guardians’ role on teaching financial management to their children is vital. This study
focused on the impact of parenting styles to the spending behaviors of senior high school students at
Agricultural Science High School of the Western Philippines University, Aborlan, Palawan and to
determine if there is a significant relationship between parenting styles of the respondents’ parents
and spending behaviors of the respondents. This study used a descriptive-correlational research,
survey-questionnaire, descriptive statistics and Chi-Square Test. There were 168 that served as the
respondents of the study. Majority were female, 18 years old, Roman Catholic and whose parents
were college graduate, Tagbanua and not struggling financially. Half of the respondents’ parents
employ authoritative parenting style; some has neglectful and permissive parent but only few of them
has an authoritarian parent. Most of the respondents were essentialist spenders which means that they
have better financial management skills. The parenting styles of the respondents’ parents does not
directly influence the respondents’ spending behaviors. It is recommended that a symposium about
financial management should be conducted so that students can have a chance to improve their
financial management skills. A comparative study on how junior high school students spend money
as compared to senior high school students was also recommended.
