“…Materialism is “a psychological construct reflecting the extent to which an individual believes that it is important to attain money, possessions, image, and status, relative to other aims in life” (Kasser, 2018). It has been widely documented that materialism is detrimental for individuals in many aspects of life (for a review, see Kasser, 2016), such as self-esteem (Chaplin and John, 2007; Nagpaul and Pang, 2017), well-being (Dittmar et al., 2014; Jiang et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2017), financial and consumption behaviors (Donnelly et al., 2012; Dittmar et al., 2014), interpersonal relationships (Kasser and Ryan, 2001), and ecological attitudes and behaviors (Hurst et al., 2013). Meanwhile, the increasingly serious environmental problems have prompted researchers’ concern regarding how to promote humans’ beneficial coexistence with the environment.…”
