  • The purpose of this study was to examine children's consumption level and related factors in an effort to lay the foundation for teaching children to lead rational consumer life and for improving consumer welfare, as it's assumed in this study that children's consumption problems would affect themselves throughout their lives. This study specifically intended to find out (1) child consumer problems, (2) how children's consumption problems were affected by their demographic variables, (3) whether consumer-education experience made any differences to their consumption problems at school, home and society, and (4) what types of demographic and consumer-education variables exercised influence on consumption problems. The findings of this study were as follows: First, children investigated were found to have middle level of consumption problems. Purchasing goods scored the lowest, and using goods scored the highest among consumption problems. Second, it turned out that boys suffered more consumption problems than girls. The reason seemed that as boys generally have lower experience in consumption attitude. Third, as to the correlation of the children's consumption problems to their consumer-education experience, money management was significantly associated with the presence or absence of experience to learn at school how to manage and save allowances. Also, the experience of consumer education by parents made a significant difference. The children's consumer consciousness and attitude varied with their experience to receive consumer education from mass media.

  • This study investigated the effects of children's temperament and environmental factors on boys' and girls' noncompliance in ecological context. Observations were made of 62 children(34 boys and 28 girls, $\bar{x}$= 44 months) enrolled in child-care centers. Mothers and caregivers completed questionnaires. Data were analyzed by t-test, Pearson's Correlation, and three way ANOVA. Results showed no significant gender difference in noncompliance. There were correlations between children's activity level, maternal rejection and responsiveness, quantity of child-care and boys' noncompliance. For girls, only activity level and quantity of child-care were related to noncompliance. The effects of maternal child-rearing behavior and child-care variables on noncompliance varied by children's gender and temperament.
