“…And does such greater empathy with the population of the larger planet facilitate greater likelihood to engage in larger-scope pro-social behaviors, such as on pro-environmental issues? Strizhakova and Coulter (2013) already show that global cultural identity moderates the relationship between materialism/consumption and environmentally friendly tendencies. More such work is needed.…”

This research examines the impact of a salient global (or local) identity on individual's regulatory goals. Specifically, we show that when people's identity as a global citizen is salient, they are more likely to focus on promotion goals; whereas when their identity as a local citizen is salient, they are more likely to focus on prevention goals. We further show that this arises because people are likely to adopt a more abstract or higher level (vs. concrete or lower level) construal when their global (local) identity is salient. Evidence from three studies supports this central proposition.

As a result of increased industrial production and individual consumption after the industrial revolution, environmental degradation became a growing global concern. Especially when we consider the fact that young people of today will be decision makers in the future, their attitudes and behavior towards the environment will doubtlessly have great influence on natural resources and their sustainability in the future. This study explores the effect of environmental knowledge and materialism values of high school students on environmental consciousness. Subsequently, it is explored whether there is a differentiation in materialism, environmental knowledge and environmental consciousness according to gender and pre-school knowledge level of the students. The convenience sampling method, multiple regression analysis and t-test were applied to the data obtained from the sample of 1011 12 th grade students in Istanbul. The outcomes of the study shows that environmental knowledge and materialism variables are meaningful in explaining environmental consciousness.

“…Meanwhile, members of individualistic cultures subscribe to transcendental collective-oriented values that emphasize a broader view of the collective (e.g., equality, social justice, and spirituality) without sharply distinguishing between the in-and outgroups. As such, even individualistic consumers may engage in collective-oriented materialistic consumption, such as gift-giving, public donation, and green consumption, to signal desirable qualities of altruism and social concern (Shrum et al, 2014;Strizhakova & Coulter, 2013). The global spread of prosocial awareness has also affected the state of international consumerism, with half of global consumers that they are willing to pay more for products and services from companies that are committed to positive social impacts (Nielsen, 2014).…”

Asia’s materialists: Reconciling collectivism and materialism

Materialism has an ugly face. The dominant view of materialism regards materialists as self-prioritizing individuals who oppose collective and prosocial goals in favor of a lifestyle led by money, possessions, and status. The present research argues that there is a side of materialism that is concerned with collective-oriented interests. We examine the nature and consequences of collective-oriented materialism -the belief system that ascribes importance to possessions for their symbolic and signaling capacities to construct desirable social attributes. Drawing from cultural and consumer theories, we find considerable support that materialists espouse a collective-oriented quality to an otherwise self-oriented interest towards possessions.
