此前没有研究调查过自我概念和物质主义之间的关系，尤其是在青少年中。我们的研究试图扭转这一趋势，研究独立的自我建构和相互依赖的自我建构如何影响巴西青少年(7至12年级)的物质主义。利用结构方程模型对假设进行检验。我们发现，独立自我构念对唯物主义有正向影响。此外，我们从原始的相互依赖的自我建构结构中创造了三个子结构，它们都没有以同样的方式影响唯物主义。群体依赖是实现群体授权的需要，它增加了唯物主义；群体忠诚是一种群体忠诚的态度，对唯物主义没有影响；群体尊重是对群体决策的尊重，减少了唯物主义。这些都是有趣的结果，因为它们质疑了我们之前对这一问题的看法，并为这个问题的学术讨论引入了新的因素。版权所有(C)2016 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
No previous research has investigated the relationship between the concept of self and materialism, especially among teenagers. Our study seeks to reverse this trend by examining how independent self-construal and interdependent self-construal affect materialism among Brazilian teenagers (grades 7 through 12). Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. We find that independent self-construal has a positive effect on materialism. Furthermore, we created three sub-constructs out of the original interdependent self-construal construct, none of which affected materialism in the same way. Group dependency, a need to achieve the group's authorisation, increases materialism; group loyalty, an attitude of group fidelity, has no effect on materialism; and group respect, a respect for group decision, diminishes materialism. These are interesting results, because they question our prior beliefs on the matter and introduce new factors into the scholarly discussion of this issue. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
