The past decade has witnessed a great deal of research interest in the construct of materialism in consumer psychology. Materialism has been defined as the importance people attach to material possessions and the consumption of material goods. Belk (1984) developed the Belk Materialism Scale to assess three salient personality traits of materialists, namely, possessiveness, nongenerosity, and envy. Richins and Dawson (1992) developed the Material Values Scale to assess three important material values, namely, acquisition centrality, acquisition as the pursuit of happiness, and possession defined success. There is a paucity of published research comparing these two instruments empirically, and thus, the present study compared the two measures in terms of their relationships with four theoretically important criteria (i.e., possession satisfaction, gift-giving, environmental responsibility, and life satisfaction), the ten universal value types of the Schwartz Value Scale (Schwartz, 1992), and the "Big Five" factors as assessed by the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992).

520 $a The past decade has witnessed a great deal of research interest in the construct of materialism in consumer psychology. Materialism has been defined as the importance people attach to material possessions and the consumption of material goods. Belk (1984) developed the Belk Materialism Scale to assess three salient personality traits of materialists, namely, possessiveness, nongenerosity, and envy. Richins and Dawson (1992) developed the Material Values Scale to assess three important material values, namely, acquisition centrality, acquisition as the pursuit of happiness, and possession defined success. There is a paucity of published research comparing these two instruments empirically, and thus, the present study compared the two measures in terms of their relationships with four theoretically important criteria (i.e., possession satisfaction, gift-giving, environmental responsibility, and life satisfaction), the ten universal value types of the Schwartz Value Scale (Schwartz, 1992), and the "Big Five" factors as assessed by the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992).
520 $a A total of 319 psychology undergraduates (187 females, 132 males) completed the above scales for partial course credit. Across both materialism instruments, correlational and regression analyses indicated that materialism was positively related to possession satisfaction and negatively related to satisfaction with life. In terms of Schwartz's values, results based on several different multivariate analyses indicated that materialists valued power, hedonism, and security more and universalism and benevolence less than nonmaterialists. Finally, neuroticism and disagreeableness proved to be the most important personality traits of materialists across all analyses and both materialism instruments. Results provided strong support for the construct validity of both materialism scales and provided some answers to Richins and Dawson's (1992) call for deeper investigations into the antecedents and consequences of materialism. Implications and directions for future research were discussed.
