This study explores the intergenerational factors shaping the financial behavior of young adults. Research questions focus on interpreting these influences, understanding their nature and extent, dynamics through family communication patterns, and the role of psychological factors. Examining financial outcomes, definitions, attitudes, and materialism, the roles of vertical, oblique, and horizontal influences are analyzed. The study delves into parental practices, transmission of financial behavior and attitudes, materialistic values, and family communication patterns. Psychological factors like emotional intelligence, locus of control, and financial education's role are investigated for improving knowledge, attitude, and behavior. The research method involves a mixed approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative in-depth interviews, aiming for a comprehensive understanding. The study's goal is to develop a conceptual framework integrating static and dynamic results to shed light on intergenerational influences on financial behavior among young adults in Hungary.
