Status Anxiety,Materialism and Conspicuous Consumption——Status,Antecedents and Consequences of Chinese Materialism

通过对369份有效样本的层级回归进行实证检验,结果显示:中国人确实存在较高的物质主义倾向,且在人口统计因素上存在差异,其中男性比女性具有更高的物质主义倾向;家庭收入越高,物质主义倾向也越高;不同教育程度和年龄对物质主义倾向的影响不够显著。在中国社会转型背景下,人们的地位焦虑与物质主义倾向显著正相关;物质主义倾向与中国人的炫耀性消费显著正相关;物质主义倾向在地位焦虑与炫耀性消费之间起着中介作用。
