“…In response, several scholars have attempted to examine the applicability of the original MVS across cultures. 7,8,17,18 While some scholars have examined differences and similarities related to MVS in a cross-cultural context by performing various mean, variance or correlation tests, 17,18 others have attested that such an approach may be inappropriate for studying a universal marketing construct because it dismisses measurement issues, particularly measurement equivalence. 7,8 Without evidence of measurement equivalence, one cannot make valid inferences about differences among cultures or genders because it is not clear whether observed mean differences are based on ' true ' differences or if they are due to differential item functioning across groups.…”

Owing to the theoretical and managerial importance of materialism, several attempts have been made to cross-culturally examine Richins and Dawon ' s Materialistic Values Scale (MVS).However, the foreign applicability of the scale remains inconclusive. The current research responded to calls related to the use of reverse-worded items and the development of a shorter version of a single scale that can be cross-culturally applicable by examining Richins and Dawson ' s MVS in two different countries that possess different socioeconomic conditions and cultural values. The United States ( n = 276) and Thailand ( n = 262) were examined through the use of multigroup confi rmatory factor analysis to assess measurement invariance. The fi ndings revealed a reduced 10-item three-factor model of materialism that might be applicable in cross-cultural studies. Implications and future research directions are also addressed.

“…Such consumers seek selfsatisfaction, and will show this to those around him or her through visible evidence. 65 The fact that consumers desire to possess brands that exude brand symbols to refl ect their self-identity has numerous implications for their attitudes towards counterfeits of luxury brands. 66 As consumers are more conscious of brand prestige, their attitudes towards counterfeiting of luxury brands would be unfavourable.…”
