Intrinsic motivations, self-esteem, and luxury goods consumption (2011, background): “…the appearance of Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), attempting to gain higher status through conspicuous consumption still seems to shape both consumers’ preferences for products and marketers’ practices in selling them (Corneo and Jeanne, 1997; Dholakia and Talukdar, 2004; Trigg, 2001).”
Materialism and conspicuous consumption in China: a cross-cultural examination (2011, background): “Similar to the concept of materialism, conspicuous consumption is a behaviour in which an individual displays wealth through a high degree of luxury expenditures on consumption and services (Trigg, 2001).”
