Is Materialism All That Bad? Effects on Satisfaction with Material Life, Life Satisfaction, and Economic Motivation (2013, background): “In contrast, quality-of-life studies have demonstrated that materialism contributes significantly to a negative quality of life (see literature reviews on materialism by Larsen et al. 1999; Richins and Rudmin 1994; Robert and Clement 2007).”
Why are materialists less happy? The role of gratitude and need satisfaction in the relationship between materialism and life satisfaction. (2014, background): “Such a college sample may thus have limited generalizability, although the materialism-life-satisfaction link has been found to be robust in both college and community samples (e.g., Richins & Dawson, 1992; Roberts & Clement, 2007).”
Personal and Planetary Well-being: Mindfulness Meditation, Pro-environmental Behavior and Personal Quality of Life in a Survey from the Social Justice and Ecological Sustainability Movement (2009, background): “Conversely, material accumulation as a primary object of one’s life energy has not led to either personal or societal welfare (Kasser 2002; Kasser and Kanner 2004; Roberts and Clement 2007 ).”
Materialism: the good, the bad, and the ugly (2014, background): “…stable materialistic traits and values, and longer-term measures of well-being such as happiness, life satisfaction, subjective well-being, and quality of life (cf. Belk, 1985; Burroughs & Rindfleisch, 2002; Kasser & Ryan, 1993; Nairn & Ipsos, 2011; Richins & Dawson, 1992; Roberts & Clement, 2007).”
Effects of materialism on work-related personal well-being (2010, background): “In terms of magnitude of effect, the average of the correlation of materialism and the four work-related PWB indicators in our study of .25 is similar to reported correlations between materialism and non-work PWB indicators (e.g. Roberts and Clement, 2007; Ryan and Dziurawiec, 2001).”
Subjective Well-Being among Adolescent Consumers: The Effects of Materialism, Compulsive Buying, and Time Affluence (2012, background): “Important life sub-domains include one’s family and friends, feelings of self-worth, residence, health, fun and enjoyment, money, and job (Roberts and Clement 2007).”
Buying to Blunt Negative Feelings: Materialistic Escape from the Self (2016, background): “…desire money more than other people, often for power and prestige (Christopher et al., 2004; Durvasula & Lysonski, 2010; Lemrová, Reiterová, Fatěnová, Lemr, & Tang, 2014; Roberts & Clement, 2007; Tang, Luna-Arocas, Pardo, & Tang, 2014), as well as to relieve anxiety (Durvasula & Lysonski, 2010).”
Bidirectional Dynamics of Materialism and Loneliness: Not Just a Vicious Cycle (2013, unknown): “In another study, acquisition as the pursuit of happiness correlated negatively with satisfaction about one’s family, whereas acquisition centrality was uncorrelated with it, although possession-deﬁned success was so as well (Roberts and Clement 2007).”
