“…Overall, HEXACO emotionality does not mediate the relationship between materialism and well-being, but the three measures of neuroticism employed in this study are either full or partial mediators in this relationship. These results are like those found in the Górnik-Durose and Pyszkowska (2020) and Watson (2020) studies.…”

“…Neuroticism and emotionality are indicators of a lack of psychological needs satisfaction which has been shown to mediate the relationship in a longitudinal study ( Wang et al., 2017 ). The research of Górnik-Durose and Pyszkowska (2020) demonstrated that another source of psychological needs dissatisfaction, narcissism is an important mediator in the materialism well-being relationship.…”

“…These studies show the importance of mediating variables in the materialism-well-being relationship. They also demonstrate that the relationship obtained may depend upon the measures used, as a significant effect was obtained for neuroticism as a mediator with the EPQ in the Górnick-Durose and Boron (2018) study, but not with the HEXACO emotionality scale in research by Watson (2020) or ( Górnik-Durose and Pyszkowska, 2020 ).…”

“…Therefore, these facets are not likely to be related to materialism. These are possible reasons for a lack of mediation with emotionality in the materialism well-being relationship with the HEXACO emotionality scale in the Górnik-Durose and Pyszkowska (2020) and Watson (2020) studies.…”

“…Instead, narcissism was an important mediator. The authors argue that neuroticism increases materialism through feelings of insecurity and underestimation of resources and that narcissism decreases materialism thorough exaggeration of one's resources ( Górnik-Durose and Pyszkowska, 2020 ). Therefore, the relationship between materialism, neuroticism and well-being may be more complex, with other processes involved.…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between, neuroticism, emotionality well-being and materialism. A series of mediation analyses were conducted with data obtained from a set of questionnaires completed by University students. The results indicated that neuroticism and emotionality were mediators in the well-being-materialism relationship. However, this relationship is dependent upon whether neuroticism or emotionality is measured as the three neuroticism measures utilized were significant mediators whereas the HEXACO emotionality scale was not. A facet-level analysis was conducted with the IPIP-NEO facets of volatility and withdrawal and with the HEXACO facets of sentimentality/dependence and withdrawal. In either case, withdrawal was a significant mediator in the materialism well-being relationship, whereas volatility or sentimentality/dependence was not. The results highlight the differences between neuroticism and HEXACO emotionality and add additional insight into the relationship between materialism and lower well-being. These findings suggest possible methods of decreasing materialistic tendencies and increasing subjective well-being.

Purchasing social attention by tipping: Materialism predicts online tipping in live‐streaming platform through self‐enhancement motive

Online tipping, or virtual gift-giving, on live-streaming platforms is an increasingly common consumer behavior in cyberspace. Perplexingly, when live-stream viewership itself is free, viewers voluntarily spend money to buy virtual gifts and send them to their preferred streamers. The present study aimed to examine the motivational mechanism underlying these voluntary tipping behaviors from the perspectives of materialism and self-enhancement. By a representative online survey (N = 1224), we found that participants' materialist beliefs were positively associated with both the likelihood and the amount of online tipping, and the self-enhancement motive could significantly mediate this association; furthermore, streamer endorsement could moderate the link between the self-enhancement motive and tipping amount. These findings suggest that materialist beliefs and downstream self-related motivations are among the main driving forces for online tipping. The present results extended previous research on materialism by testing its effects in a newly emerging online consumer behavior and providing direct evidence for the moderation role of the "symbolic-ness" of materialist behaviors. Practical implications for live-streaming platforms, educators and policymakers, such as introducing tipping amount caps, were also discussed.
