AVERAGE DAILY ALLOWANCE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Rationale
Satisfaction is a feeling of being happy or pleased after being fulfilled by something like a
need or a desire. On one hand, financial support satisfaction refers to the feeling of being
satisfied by the financial support given by a certain person that supports someone financially.
Each individual has different levels of satisfaction towards financial support depending on daily
wants and needs. On the contrary, a student has a lot of basic needs in terms of food, things, and
such. In order to fulfill ever wants and need, students are given daily allowance mostly by
parents or guardians. Daily allowance, relatively, refers to the amount of money or financial
support that will serve as the pocket money for a day. Most students receive their allowance
daily for everyday consumptions and to be used for daily needs in school. Some are given an
allowance that is already good for one week or for a month and must budget wisely. Moreover,
students' needs and wants in school rises as they move along with the grade levels. As a result,
students get more dependent or reliant on their daily allowance. Because of this students'
satisfaction with their daily allowance is challenged with the arising daily needs, that is why it is
very essential to know whether each student is satisfied with their daily allowance or not.
In economic and psychological studies, financial support satisfaction is an essential
variable [1]. Student, in terms of the arising needs, they have to be financially satisfied in order
to achieve consumer life satisfaction and well-being. On the contrary, the well-being of a person
is defined as the extent of that person's satisfaction with his existing status in terms of being
healthy, happy, and free from debts and liabilities. In addition, the family is a very important
source of support for all household members. A family is considered as the smallest component
in the society but it is the long-term network among people who interact daily, caters to the needs
of each member, and assures survival. This study explains that family is what each individual's
source of allowance or financial support. The family may be the smallest component in the
society, but it is the one that satisfies each need and fulfills each wants to be able to survive.
Various studies have shown that financial behaviors and financial knowledge are related to
financial satisfaction [3]. Every individual's well-being has a strong connection with financial
satisfaction through experiences that enables the variables to influence each other.
This study seeks for the relationship between the levels of satisfaction towards their daily
allowance of the high school students of Sabang National High School.
Statement of the problem

The study intends to determine the relationship between school allowance and student’s
determination in studies. Specifically, the study seeks to answer the following sub problems:
1)What is the mean allowance of the Girls?
2) What is the mean allowance of the Boys?

section in grade 10.

Data Gathering Method

The gathering of this mini research is by surveying, wherein the students/participants are
asked to answer the survey sheet prepared by the researcher.

Data Analysis Plan

The data analysis plan will make use of the percentile rank formula for ungrouped data.
