追求经济上的成功是资本主义文化的一个重要方面。三项研究检验了这样一种假设：当财富和金钱的价值观和期望比其他与自我相关的价值观和期望对个人更重要时，它们与适应和幸福呈负相关。研究1和研究2采用2种方法表明，大学生金钱相关价值观和期望的相对中心性与幸福感和心理健康呈负相关。研究3使用了一个非大学的异质性样本，扩展了这些发现，表明对经济成功的高中心愿望与较低的全球适应和社会生产力以及更多的行为障碍的面试评分有关。讨论的重点是唯物主义世界观的有害后果，以及检查内容对目标和价值观的不同影响的必要性。
Aspiring for financial success is an important aspect of capitalist cultures. Three studies examine the hypothesis that values and expectancies for wealth and money are negatively associated with adjustment and well-being when they are more central to an individual than other self-relevant values and expectancies. Studies 1 and 2 use 2 methods to show that the relative centrality of money-related values and expectancies is negatively related to college students' well-being and mental health. Study 3, using a heterogeneous noncollege sample, extends these findings by showing that a high centrality of aspirations for financial success is associated with interview ratings of lower global adjustment and social productivity and more behavioral disorders. Discussion is focused on the deleterious consequences of materialistic world views and the need to examine differential effects of content regarding goals and values.
