ABSTRACT

The pursuit of materialism has been linked to misery. Conversely, gratitude – in its forms as a long-lasting emotional quality as well as a transient one – could contribute to happiness. Experiencing gratitude could lessen the need for material possessions. This study examined the relationship of materialism with gratitude in Indian context. Materialism Value Scale (MVS), and Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) were administered to 73 Indian college students (Mage= 20.34, SD= 3.24). Correlational analysis shows no relation (r= -.019, p = .923) between materialism and gratitude. These findings indicate that materialism is not related to gratitude in Indian context.
