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).
