Self-Control, Financial Knowledge, and the Buying Behavior of Senior High School Students

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the influence of self-control and financial knowledge on the buying behavior of senior high school students. There is an affirmation that the influence of self-control and financial knowledge predicts the buying behavior of SHS students. This study was conducted through a quantitative research design, employing the descriptive-correlational method. A simple random sampling was utilized to select the number of samples, and survey questionnaires were used to gather the data. Likewise, mean and standard deviation, Pearson (r), and regression analysis were thes statistical tools utilized to answer the research objectives. Findings revealed that the levels of self-control, financial knowledge, and buying behavior of SHS students were rated very high. Nonetheless, a significant relationship exists between the variables under investigation. However, regression analysis revealed that only self-control has a significant influence on buying behavior, while financial knowledge did not significantly predict how students make their purchasing decisions.
