Low interpersonal trust increases materialism

높은 물질주의가 행복과 인간관계에 미치는 부정적 영향에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어 진 바 있다. 하지만 정작 물질주의의 발생 원인에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서 주목한 하나의 가능성은 낮은 수준의 일반적 신뢰이다. 타인에 대한 신뢰가 낮으면 인간관계의 중요성을 평가절하 하는 대신 물질을 중시 할 것이라는 가설을 세 연구를 통해 살펴보았다. 예상대로 ‘세상에 믿을 사람 하나 없다’는 믿음이 강한 사람일수록 물질을 중시하고 인간관계를 경시하였고(연구 1), 친구와 함께하는 즐거움을 낮게 평정하였다(연구 2). 연구 3에서는 점화를 통해 낮은 수준의 일반적 신뢰가 인간관계 대비 물질의 가치를 높인다는 것을 확인하였다. 양질의 사회적 관계가 행복과 건강에 핵심적 요소이며 물질주의는 이들에 악영향을 미친다는 것을 고려하면, 본 연구의 결과는 낮은 일반적 신뢰가 개인의 삶의 질에 있어서도 중요한 영향을 미칠 가능성을 시사한다.

Abstract

Although the negative effects of materialism on happiness and social relationships are well-known, the psychological origins of materialism is less examined. One candidate is low levels of interpersonal trust. The possibility that low interpersonal trust leads to a stronger endorsement of materialistic than social values was examined. As expected, those who strongly believed that "there are very few people to trust in this world" were more likely to emphasize material than social values (Study 1), and this tendency spread to close relationships,such as interactions with friends (Study 2). When primed of exemplars of low interpersonal trust, participants placed greater value on materialistic than social experiences (Study 3). Given the crucial role of social resource in happiness and health, low levels of interpersonal trust seems to trigger various maladaptive thoughts and beliefs that may compromise the person's long-term survival.
