Subscribe/Renew Journal
Materialism has been a topic of research in various disciplines since more than a few decades now. But its mammoth form is more haunting now a days as economies are reeling and individual dissatisfaction is on the rise. This paper attempts to investigate the relationship of materialism with impulsiveness. To this end, the data was collected from a sample of teachers (N=400) from colleges and universities in Chandigarh. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS. The techniques of Pearson Product Moment Correlation and student's t-test were employed. It was observed that participants' endorsement of a materialistic lifestyle correlates positively with their scores on impulsiveness. The gender differences were seen to exist on materialism trait and its components while no gender differences were found on impulsiveness and its second order factors.
