“…These findings are similar to those from Merolla et al (2011), who found that individuals who are most vulnerable to poverty rely to causal attributions. Likewise, Palomar (2003) reported that Mexicans blame poverty on external factors (political and economic) coinciding with Palomar & Cienfuegos (2006), who also found that individuals present characteristics related to financial optimism since 44.4% of the sample indicate that one of the factors for success are the characteristics of the subject, which it is the achievement of objectives by themselves (Zabelina, 2018).…”

“…Meanwhile for Yamani (1997), it is a construct that refers to that set of beliefs, abilities and skills that allow individuals to understand the near and global economic environment to make efficient decisions according to their financial resources. On the other hand, economic attitude refers to the way of economically acting in different situations, to the efficient use of money and to the correct use of the resources that people have (Zabelina et al, 2018).…”

“…There are other scales to measure the economic attitude of people; for example, Zabelina et al (2018) proposed the following factors: (1) economic internality and financial optimism, which alludes to future financial thoughts, such as the idea of owning material goods, the increase in income, and the tendency to save. (2) economy estimate factor that measures attitudes towards investment, consumption, inflation knowledge, frequency of donations, financial competition and knowledge of the financial economic environment.…”

“…The research of the economic attitude and the perception of poverty has allowed that there is enough empirical evidence at international level (Zabelina et al, 2018). Regarding the association between both variables, the main approximations that exist are from Feagin (1972), who associates psychological factors such as attitudes towards saving and administration of resources with a perception of poverty; and Hunt (2004) when associating perception of poverty with attitudes towards wealth.…”

Behavioral economics has tried to explain the economic and financial decisions of the individuals. It has been used to understand the economic perceptions and attitudes of vulnerable groups; however, for indigenous peoples, especially in Latin America, there are unresolved issues. Thus, from an intercultural perspective, this research examines the association between the economic attitude and the perception of poverty through the comparison of a sample of intercultural college students from different ethnic groups in Mexico. For this reason, a quantitative, descriptive and correlational research was carried out with a non-experimental design from a sample of 207 intercultural college students. Two research questions were raised, the questions were tested by Pearson correlation and linear regression. Attribution theory was analyzed to assess the association between the economic attitude and the perception of poverty in intercultural students. It was found that the economic attitude is related to the perception of poverty, because the students presented attitudes of financial optimism oriented towards the structural causes of poverty. Consequently, the model of an intercultural university could benefit the development of indigenous communities, through a pedagogy oriented towards the creation of significant economic attitudes.

The concept of sustainable development requires entrepreneurs to increase awareness and responsibility for business and society. In this regard, the question of the entrepreneurial attitudes in the economic sphere is of scientific interest. The study (N=413) reveals the specifics of economic attitudes of the entrepreneurs compared to employees. Business owners more soberly assess consumer behavior in terms of rationality, they are more inclined to invest, more optimistic about their financial future, and they are more competent in financial issues. At the same time, the cognitive economic activity of the entrepreneurs is expressed at the average level; they tend to evaluate the individual's independent achievements in the economic sphere lower, considering them as something ordinary. Four main strategies of the economic behavior of the entrepreneurs were identified: the strategy of economic activity based on financial knowledge, the strategy of high goals combined with low risk and financial optimism, the strategy of earning and spending money, and the strategy of savings and rationality. In general, business owners tend to agree with the idea of the social responsibility of rich people to the poor, which creates the prerequisites for the sustainable development of society.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how students’ entrepreneurial attitudes are related to their economic attitudes regarding business, investments, savings and consumption. The study presents a new research tool to analyze the characteristics of the economic mind – the economic attitudes questionnaire. Design/methodology/approach The method consists of a multiple-factorial questionnaire, a verification of reliability and internal validity (exploratory and confirmation factor analyses), a quantitative survey and a correlation analysis. Findings Two main ways of preparing students for a market economy are identified: one is connected to entrepreneurship, and the other to rational investment and financial planning. The complex nature of economic attitudes’ interaction is confirmed: by the direct relationships between entrepreneurial attitudes of students and investment activity, and between risk and satisfaction and consumer opportunities, as well as by the negative relationships between entrepreneurial attitudes and the level of mistrust to banking structures, unwillingness to make savings, unwillingness to share and financial pessimism. The economic attitudes questionnaire was developed and it showed sufficient validity and reliability on samples of student youth. Research limitations/implications The study was limited to Russian students. Originality/value Adapting the questionnaire to other cultures will allow conducting cross-cultural research of entrepreneurial attitudes, which may be relevant in the global economy.
