| Abstract: | This study responds to a call for broadened conceptualizations of materialism and its role in self-definition. Data from 202 spouses were analyzed for relationships among materialism, parenthood status, and personality type, defined as spousal "warmness" or "coolness". Testable hypotheses were based on the concept of object-subject interchangeability as a mechanism of self-definition. The hypothesis was supported that cool spouses without children would have the highest materialism score. Total sample materialism scores were related to parenthood status and to several interactions among parenthood status, personality type, and sex of respondent. |
