Once basic needs are satisfied, the relation between income and subjective well-being is small, materialism leads to diminished well-being. This study attempts determine: (1) whether experiential purchases, as opposed materialistic likely increase (2) these increases be due increased satisfaction of psychological and/or decreased social comparison. Participants indicated that purchases represented money better spent, brought more happiness themselves, others. Path models demonstrated had an...
There is growing support that money spent on experiential items increases an individual's happiness. However, there minimal research the causes and long-term consequences of tendency to make purchases. Given importance buying for improving well-being, understanding preference purchasing imperative. Thus, we developed Experiential Buying Tendency Scale (EBTS) measure habitual purchasing. Across eight samples (n = 9634), EBTS was developed, shown be reliable, valid, predictive consumer...
We propose that escape theory, which describes how individuals seek to free themselves from aversive states of self-awareness, helps explain key patterns materialistic people's behavior. As predicted by may feel dissatisfied with their standard living, cope failed expectations and life stressors less effectively than others, suffer experience negative emotions as a result. To negative, self-directed emotions, people enter narrow, cognitively deconstructed mindset in order temporarily blunt...
Abstract This paper reports on a measurement of electron-ion recombination in liquid argon the ICARUS time projection chamber (LArTPC). A clear dependence angle ionizing particle track relative to drift electric field is observed. An ellipsoid modified box (EMB) model describes data across all measured angles. These measurements are used for calorimetric energy scale calibration TPC, which also presented. The impact EMB studied identification, as well muon and proton measurements. Accounting...
Understanding score reliability is a necessary step in examining the validity of acculturation instruments. Thus, authors evaluate aggregate three multigroup, bidimensional instruments: General Ethnicity Questionnaire— Abridged, Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale, and Vancouver Index Acculturation. Reliability generalization techniques are used to analyze 51 internal consistency estimates 6 sample characteristics for these Overall, all instruments appear be robust. However, ranges...
Zimbardo and Boyd (1999) developed the 56-item Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI). It has become leading measure used in study of subjective time. In this article, we report an abbreviated ZTPI that only includes 15 total items (SZTPI-15). We tested psychometric characteristics SZTPI-15 by focusing on: (a) convergent discriminant validity, (b) external (c) test–retest reliability (d) self-peer ratings. On basis these tests, results demonstrated short version was less reliable than standard...
In spite of the experiential advantage, people consume material items in pursuit happiness. We conducted three studies to determine if commit forecasting errors when deciding between purchasing life experiences and items. Study 1a showed that expect result more well-being, whereas are forecasted be a better use money. However, 1b demonstrated enjoy greater well-being from consider them 2, four-week longitudinal study, corroborated this economic misforecast. 3 seeking make good one's money,...
