Abstract

The current investigation examined the difference in money attitudes between inmates who committed monetary crimes and those who committed non-monetary crimes. Monetary inmates (N = 219) and non-monetary inmates (N = 174) responded to a questionnaire that included the Money Attitude Scale (MAS). Results indicated that monetary criminals scored higher in Power-Prestige and Anxiety dimensions and lower in Retention-Time dimension than non-monetary inmates. The two groups did not show a significant difference in their scores in Distrust dimension. Our discussion focuses on the implications of these results for current studies and educational programs regarding the money attitudes of inmates.
