Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of the study was to assess high school students’ knowledge in the area of consumer economics and to identify school variables related to that knowledge. Six hundred fifty-three seniors from five Pennsylvania school districts were administered the “Consumer Economics Content Area Measure” of the Adult Performance Level Program (APL). Multiple regression analysis and chi-square procedures were used to analyze the data. Of the school variables examined, only the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores in mathematics and reading showed a moderate correlation with the APL scores.
