When the Going Gets Tough the Materialistic Go Shopping: Materialism and Consumption Response to Stress
This research explores the moderating effect of materialism on post traumatic-stress (PTS) in the face of life-threatening events. The results indicate that highly (vs. low) materialistic individuals in the mortal-threat (vs. non-threat) condition reported higher levels of PTS, and exhibited a heightened effect of PTS on maladaptive consumption behaviors.
