Feeling Bad By Wanting More Or Wanting More By Feeling Bad: The Materialism - Well-Being Cycle
Using longitudinal survey data (2013-2015) we show that materialism and well-being influence each other over time. Importantly, acquisition as the pursuit of happiness is the only materialism dimension that negatively influences well-being. The materialism dimensions acquisition centrality and possession-defined success had positive effects on well-being.
