* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The past research about high school students’ investment behaviors is mainly carried out during the start of the 21st century. However, with the increasingly changing family wealth and living standards in China, the amount of money high school students possess is much higher nowadays. Moreover, this study is carried out in Beijing, one of the most flourished metropolises in China. Therefore, a study that is more time-sensitive should be carried. This paper examines the factors affecting investment behavior among contemporary high school students from an affiliated school of Peking University in China. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted to collect data from about 100 high school students. The findings revealed that most of the respondents had discussions about financial issues with their parents or other guardians during their high school years, and observed their parents or guardians engaging in positive investment behaviors.
