models to help their children make sensible financial decisions, according to adam hancock and his team, from east caronlina university in the us. their work highlights that parents who argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt among their children during their students years. their work is published online in springers journal of family and economic issues. credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last decade. in addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. hancock and colleagues study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect（累积效应）on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt. the researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students

finances.in terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over 500.the researchers conclude, it is clear that the
