- Reconceptualizing materialism as identity goal pursuits: Functions, processes, and consequences (2013, background): “In addition, differences in cultural capital within cultures may lead to differences in appreciation for conspicuous consumption (Berger & Ward, 2010; Üstüner & Holt, 2010).”
- Demythologizing Consumption Practices: How Consumers Protect Their Field-Dependent Identity Investments from Devaluing Marketplace Myths (2011, background): “Yet these midlevel cultural capital consumers are likely to still feel overmatched and ill equipped to play the cosmopolitan (and aesthetically diversified) status games favored by high cultural capital consumers (Holt 1998; Üstüner and Holt 2010).”
- All That Glitters Is Not Gold: How Others’ Status Influences the Effect of Power Distance Belief on Status Consumption (2016, neutral): “This theorizing is also consistent with previous research findings that upward social comparisons or inequality increases status consumption among Western consumers, who tend to have low PDB, due to their desire to “keep up with the Joneses” (Ordabayeva and Chandon 2011; €Ustüner and Holt 2010).”
- Conspicuous Consumption of Time: When Busyness and Lack of Leisure Time Become a Status Symbol (2016, background): “Though past research has found an association between inferences of status for people who use expensive luxury products, such inferences may be tainted by views that those same people are extrinsically motivated and less likeable (Van Boven, Campbell, and Gilovich 2010).”
