摘要
Although there is growing concern about the issue of credit card debt among college students in China, little research has examined attitudes to money and debt among that group. The present study compared financial self-confidence, perceived financial wellbeing, attitudes to debt, and parent education about money and debt in 410 college students from the US and China. Although college students in China reported fewer credit cards and less debt, they also reported lower levels of financial self-confidence and financial wellbeing. In both cultures, delay of gratification and parental education predicted both self-confidence and financial wellbeing. Quoiqu'il y ait des preoccupations grandissantes a propos des enjeux associes aux dettes de cartes de credit chez les etudiants collegiaux en Chine, peu d'etudes ont examine les attitudes de ces derniers envers l'argent et les dettes. La presente etude comparait la confiance personnelle a l'endroit de ses finances, le bien-etre financier percu, les attitudes envers les dettes et l'education parentale relativement a l'argent et aux dettes chez 410 etudiants collegiaux des Etats-Unis et de la Chine. Quoique les etudiants collegiaux chinois aient rapporte avoir moins de cartes de credit et moins de dettes, ils ont aussi rapporte des niveaux plus faibles de confiance personnelle a l'endroit de leurs finances et de bien-etre financier. Dans les deux cultures, le delai de gratification et l'education parentale predisaient a la fois la confiance personnelle et le bien-etre financier. Aunque existe una creciente preocupacion acerca de la cuestion del endeudamiento a traves de las tarjetas de credito entre los estudiantes universitarios en China, muy pocas investigaciones han examinado las actitudes hacia el dinero y la deuda en ese grupo. El presente estudio comparo la autoconfianza financiera, el bienestar financiero percibido, las actitudes hacia la deuda y la educacion por parte de los padres acerca del dinero y la deuda entre 410 estudiantes universitarios de los Estados Unidos y China. Aunque los estudiantes universitarios de China informaron tener menos tarjetas de credito y menos deuda, tambien registraron niveles mas bajos de autoconfianza y bienestar financiero. En ambas culturas, la postergacion de la gratificacion y la educacion de los padres predijeron tanto la autoconfianza como el bienestar financiero.
