- Remarks
- The three measures( Aspiration Index, Ger and Belk's, and Richins and Dawson's measures) each tap some element of an extrinsic, materialistic value orientation, as a higher-order factor analysis of the three scores yielded one factor (Eigenvalue 1.82) accounting for 60.7% of the variance. All three materialism variables loaded above 0.70 on this factor. Using scores from each of the three scales, it is computed a summary Materialism score by standardizing and then averaging scores from the Aspiration Index, Ger and Belk's, and Richins and Dawson's measures.
