The purpose of this study was to examine the causal relation on the material value, ostentatious spending behavior, life satisfaction degree of female and male high school students. The samples were selected from total 410 female and male high school students. Cronbach’α, One-way ANOVA. Duncan’s multiple range test, multiple regression, and path analysis were applied for statistical analysis.
The results were summarized as followings: 1) One-way ANOVA showed that the material value resulted in significant differences between female and male students for monthly allowance and financial satisfaction degree.
The ostentatious spending behavior showed significant difference between male and female students for monthly allowance and financial satisfaction degree. Life satisfaction degree showed significant differences for financial satisfaction. 2) Path analysis with Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis showed that the material value of students had the negative linear relationship with the financial satisfaction. The ostentatious spending behavior of students had the positive linear relationship with the material value. Finally the life satisfaction degree of female students had the negative linear relationship with the ostentatious spending behavior, but had no relationship for male students.
