The values that belong to society and are intended to be instilled in individuals encompass fundamental moral principles that aid individuals in making sound decisions. The loss of certain values-such as frugality-can lead to selfish behavior. As a result of selfishness, a narcissistic human model emerges, constantly seeking pleasure and engaging in consumption. Consumption refers to expenditures arising from a person’s desires and needs; while needs shape consumption, it is consumer culture that defines those needs. Rather than living with the blessings already within them, individuals experience disappointment as they dwell on unattainable possibilities. Consequently, they become incapable of frugality, leading to dissatisfaction and unhappiness. In this context, the study focuses on examining the relationship between frugality and consumption habits. The main objective is to explore, through adolescents, the interaction and direction of the relationship between individuals’ consumption habits and the moral judgment of frugality. The data obtained reveal individuals’ attitudes and volitional tendencies within the consumption process; in this regard, the findings contribute to the field of psychology of religion and are significant in helping to understand individuals’ awareness and approaches concerning consumption. In the theoretical part of the study, the documentation method was employed, while in the practical part, a survey was conducted within a quantitative research design. The sample consisted of 443 students studying at four different secondary education institutions in Ankara during the 2023–2024 academic year. The data collection tools included the Personal Information Form, the Frugality Scale, and the Hedonic Consumption Scale. Data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software. According to the findings, there is a statistically significant negative relationship between adolescents’ consumption habits and their level of frugality. It was concluded that individuals with lower levels of frugality tend to exhibit higher levels of hedonic Consumption habits. Furthermore, when examining the findings related to demographic variables, statistically significant relationships were identified between scores on the hedonic consumption habits scale and variables such as gender, economic level, and school type. Specifically, female participants showed higher mean scores than male participants. Individuals with higher economic levels exhibited an increase in hedonic consumption scores. Students attending Science High Schools demonstrated stronger tendencies toward hedonic consumption compared to those enrolled in other school types. While statistically significant correlations were found between the scale scores of the value of frugality and the type of school, no significant relationships were observed among other demographic variables. Accordingly, it was observed that participants with the lowest score types attended Science High Schools, whereas those with the highest score types attended Anatolian High Schools.
