我们研究了8-18岁的儿童和青少年在物质主义方面的年龄差异。在研究1中，我们发现物质主义从童年中期到青春期早期增加，从青春期早期到后期下降。此外，我们发现年龄差异是由从童年中期到青春期发生的自尊变化介导的。在研究2中，我们启动自尊，以获得自尊和唯物主义之间因果关系的进一步证据。正如预期的那样，我们发现诱导高自尊会减少物质主义的表达。在青少年中，诱导高自尊会显著减少物质主义，甚至会消除物质主义的年龄差异.
We examine age differences in materialism with children and adolescents 8-18 years old. In study 1, we find materialism increases from middle childhood to early adolescence and declines from early to late adolescence. Further, we find that age differences are mediated by changes in self- esteem occurring from middle childhood through adolescence. In study 2, we prime self- esteem to obtain further evidence of a causal link between self-esteem and materialism. As expected, we find that inducing high self- esteem decreases expressions of materialism. Inducing high self- esteem reduces materialism among adolescents so dramatically that age differences in materialism disappear.
