Abstract

Despite growing interest in youth financial literacy, their attitudes toward finance have not been directly explored and recognized so far. We suppose that a good attitude toward finance may predict high financial kwowledge. This study is based on focus group methodology, on a sample of 59 business students supposed to be familiar with the interview topic and thus more collaborative. The results show that even among business students there are different profiles of attitudes toward finance, depending on academic majors and degree levels, while no gender effect is identified
