The Determinants and Structure of Adolescents' Beliefs about the Economy.

Furnham, Adrian

Journal of Adolescence, v10 n4 p353-71 Dec 1987

Reports one study on determinants of economic values in a population of 16- to 17-year-old British schoolchildren, and a second on economic preferences and knowledge in a larger group of slightly older adolescents. Found the pattern of results not dissimilar to those from related studies. Discusses the results in terms of the literature on economic socialization. (Author/KS)
