The Relations of Maternal and Social Environments to Late Adolescents' Materialistic and Prosocial Values.
Kasser, Tim; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v31 n6 p907-14 Nov 1995
Examined relationships between unsupportive environments and adolescents' valuing financial success relatively more than affiliation, community, and self-acceptance. Eighteen-year olds who rated the importance of financial success aspirations higher than other values were found to have mothers who were less nurturant. Further, these subjects grew up in less advantaged circumstances with mothers who valued their children's financial success. (HTH)
