4 Political Discourse the American people have got to go about their business. We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation to the point where we don t conduct business, where people don t shop (reported in The New York Times, October 12, 2001)
5 Materialism s allure The percentage of incoming American Firstyear college students reporting that the following aims are very important or essential :
6 100% American Freshman survey 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Helping others who are in difficulty Developing a meaningful philosophy of life Being very well off financially
7 Messages about The Goods Life Can purchase happiness Important to work and consume Life is meaningful and people are successful to the extent they have money, possessions, and the right image
8 Living Well Together Deneulin & McGregor (2010) Some characteristics, practices, or situations may contribute to people s happiness and help them to live well Living well together can only occur when the characteristics, practices, or situations that promote happiness do not interfere with others opportunity to live well Other humans Future generations of humans Other species
9 Messages about The Goods Life The values of The Goods Life undermine both Living Well and Living Well Together
10 Measuring Materialism Values strategy (e.g., Kasser & Ryan, 1993, 1996) Rate many goals, guiding principles, (e.g., family, spirituality, fun, etc.) Sample extrinsic goals You will have a job that pays well You will have many expensive possessions You will achieve the look you ve been after You will be admired by many people Assess the relative importance of extrinsic goals All of us are somewhat materialistic
11 Measuring Materialism Survey methods (e.g., Belk, 1985, Richins & Dawson, 1992) Rate agreement with statements like: My life would be better if I owned certain things I don t have. I like to own things that impress people. I like a lot of luxury in my life. I would rather buy something I need than borrow it from someone else.
12 Well-being Correlates
13 Personal Well-being Longest standing research tradition since Richins & Dawson (1992) and Kasser & Ryan (1993, 1996) Since then dozens of studies have examined correlations of materialism with WB Numerous nations Numerous age groups & sample types Numerous assessments of WB Recent meta-analysis Dittmar, Bond, Hurst, & Kasser (in press, JPSP)
14 Well-being measures (Values & Beliefs is reference for estimates) Type of measure Compulsive Buying Health Risk Behaviors Negative Self Positive Affect Composite SWB r (95% CI) k n -.44 (-.48, -.39) 26 9, (-.38, -.19) 8 2, (-.37, -.18) 7 1, (-.31, -.14) 9 9, (-.25, -.14) 34 13,479
15 Well-being measures (Values & Beliefs is reference for estimates) Type of measure r (95% CI) k n Depression -.19 (-.25, -.12) 22 8,651 Anxiety -.17 (-.26, -.07) 12 1,659 Positive Self -.17 (-.24, -.09) 18 3,648 Other DSM Axis I -.16 (-.26, -.06) 7 4,272 Phys.

16 Explanation Need satisfaction is required for psychological well-being to occur (Deci & Ryan, 2000) Materialistic values lead to choices and experiences that do a relatively poor job of satisfying psychological needs (Kasser, 2002)
17 Mediational Model Materialism Lower Need Satisfaction Lower Well-being
18 Mediational Model Meta-analysis found support for 3 needs Autonomy choosing what one does, rather than feeling pressured Relatedness feeling connected to and loved by other people Competence feeling able to do successfully what one wants to do
19 Mediational Model Materialism Lower Need Satisfaction Lower Well-being

24 Ecological Correlates

27 Ecological Outcomes & Materialism Hurst, Dittmar, Bond, & Kasser (2013)
28 Ecological Outcomes & Materialism Hurst, Dittmar, Bond, & Kasser (2013) Type of measure r (95% CI) k n Attitudes -.22 (-.33, -.11) 8 2,474 Behaviors -.24 (-.30, -.17) 9 2,667 Note: Correlations not corrected for reliability; Materialism includes Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic + other measures

39 Self-acceptance Intrinsic Values Kasser & Ryan (1996) I will follow my interests and curiosity where they take me. Affiliation I will express my love for special people. Community Feeling I will help the world become a better place.
40 Psychological Benefits More happiness More life satisfaction Higher vitality Less depression Less anxiety Fewer physical symptoms
41 Social Benefits More prosocial behavior More empathy More cooperation Less antisocial behavior
42 Ecological Benefits More environmentally friendly behaviors Lower Ecological Footprint Less consumption in forest dilemma game
43 Living Well Together Deneulin & McGregor (2010) Intrinsic values meet criteria for living well together Promote personal well-being Support well-being of other humans Support well-being of future generations of humans and of other species
44 Two-fold Strategy Causes Materialism Healthy Values
45 Positive Psychology As a basic science [positive psychology] is about promoting research and public policy that can be leveraged to enhance social welfare. As an applied science positive psychology is about creating tools and interventions by which we might advance both individual and group-level flourishing. Robert Biswas-Diener, foreword to Positive Psychology as Social Change, 2011

58 Exposure to advertising Brief exposure to ads decreases children s social behaviors Goldberg & Gorn (1978) U.S. teens materialism is higher in years when a larger percentage of the U.S. GNP was due to advertising expenditures (Twenge & Kasser, 2013)
59 Block Influence Teach parents that there is no evidence for educational benefits of screens among infants Teach parents about American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines no screen time for children under 2 years of age no TV in child s bedroom
60 Policy Changes Support policies to remove ads from schools & public places End tax subsidy for advertisements End advertising to children Canada s Broadcast Code for Advertising to Children Quebec bans ads to children < 13 years
