This study aims to investigate the relationship between college students’ family financial
education style and consumption decision-making style, as well as the mediating role of consumption
values in it. Through the family financial education style questionnaire, consumption value questionnaire
and consumption decision-making style questionnaire, 249 college students in a provincial normal
university were investigated. The results showed that the entertainment orientation of consumption
decision-making style was significantly different among the only child (t=2.25; p<0.05); There was a
significant difference in the monthly cost of habitual brand orientation (F=2.88; p<0.05); College students’
family financial education methods were correlated with their consumption values (r=0.22; p<0.01),
consumption decision-making style (r=0.27; p<0.01), and college students’ consumption values were
significantly positively correlated with consumption decision-making style (r=0.50; p<0.01) . Consumer
values played a partial mediating role in the relationship between college students’ family financial
education style and consumption decision-making style (indirect effect value =0.22; SE = 0.05). Therefore,
college students’ family financial education affects the consumption decision-making style, and part of the
influence is through the consumption values.
