This paper compared the money beliefs and behaviors and the experiences of four different groups of female college students using furnham's(1984) money Beliefs and Behaviors (MBBS) scale. These four groups were Korean, Japanese, Korean-American, and Japanese American. Two hundreds of female college students were surveyed.

There were significant differences in factors of the money beliefs and behaviors and the selected variables of the money experiences among compared four groups.
