Measuring Attachment to Material Objects: Development and Validation of the Attachment to Material Objects Scale

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Personality Traits

Abstract: We developed the ATMOS to measure attachment to material objects.  Study one (N = 305) used exploratory factor analysis to derive a 10-item scale measuring two factors.  Study two (N = 315) confirmed this structure.  Study 3 (N = 284) established convergent validity (strong correlations with problematic attachment and materialism).
