Notas: Sumario: This paper investigates the Using two national longitudinal studies: the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey Children and Young Adults (NLSCYA) and the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey (NLSY79), we link the financial behavior of 2,520 young adults back to their general self-control skill and their parents' financial behavior conducted during children's adolescence. We find evidence of intergenerational consistency in financial behavior between parents and their children. Results from the generalized structural equation model indicate that parents¿ financial behavior affects that of their children both directly and indirectly through general self-control skill development. Furthermore, the influence of parents is moderated by parentchild relationship. These findings highlight the importance of parental financial socialization. Its implications are discussed.Intergenerational influence on financial behaviourRegistros relacionados: En: The Journal of consumer affairs, Volume 51, Issue 2, Summer 2017. - Pages 284-311Materia / lugar / evento: Familias Ahorro financiero familiar Educación financiera Comportamiento financiero Otros autores: Pöder, Kaire
