中文摘要：

物质主义通常指一种强调物质拥有和社会声望重要性的个体价值观。高物质主义者在对外部目标的追求与基本心理需要的满足之间形成了一个不断循环的怪圈。这个循环体系维系了物质主义的生活方式，却也带来更低的自我评价、更高的不满意感和更负面的情绪反应。文章概括了物质主义价值观对幸福感的影响以及社会比较和自尊在其中的中介作用；物质主义价值观对人际信任与助人意愿的影响，也为指导大众树立正确的消费观念，开启健康的生活模式提供了建议和引导。

英文摘要：

Materialism generally refers to the individual’s values focusing on material possession, and social recognition. There is a negative recycle between seeking for external goals and the satisfaction for basic psychological need for materialists. The recycle maintains the life style of materialism, as well as leaving people lower self-appraisal, lower satisfaction and more negative emotion. In this paper, we explore the relationship among materialistic values, subjective well-being, interpersonal trust and helping intention. We also suggest the future agenda.
