Abstract

Federal legislation has been proposed that would require parents/guardians to act as coobligors on college students' credit card applications. This study supports the assumptions underlying the proposed legislation, suggesting that students whose parents are involved in their acquisition of credit cards have significantly lower credit card balances than do students with no parental involvement.
