西方马克思主义对历史唯物主义的“重建”

西方马克思主义是在探索如何重建历史唯物主义、重构社会变革主体和路径的问题基础上产生的。在其发展的历史过程中,不同的流派对历史唯物主义的“重建”各具特色．但总体上来说分为两派：一派是试图回归到历史唯物主义的文本中去,构建历史唯物主义的“原像”,如早期西方马克恩主义、生态学马克思主义;另一派是运用西方分析学、经济学和政治学的方法和理论对历史唯物主义进行补充,试图建构新的符合其理论宗旨的历史唯物主义“变体”,如分析学马克思主义、结构主义马克恩主义、存在主义马克思主义、法兰克福学派、“政治马克思主义”。在这些重建历史唯物主义的路径和方法中不乏真知灼见,但实质已经偏离了历史唯物主义的宗旨和核心,无法完整准确揭示历史唯物主义的真精神。     

恩格斯的《终结》与中国特色社会主义

恩格斯的《路德维希·费尔巴哈和德国古典哲学的终结》深刻地论证了哲学的基本问题,即思维与存在的关系问题,阐明了唯物主义立场。建设中国特色社会主义,是历史发展的必然性与认识的能动作用的体现,必须把发展作为党执政兴国的第一要务。     

A cross‐cultural exploration of materialism in adolescents

To date, few studies have empirically examined specific values with respect to the global teenager hypothesis. In testing the global teenager hypothesis, this study investigates similarities and differences in materialism among 14‐ to 17‐year olds in China, Japan and the USA. Significant differences were found between respondents from the three nations for materialism and discretionary spending power. Discretionary spending power had a significant effect on materialism across nations. In addition, evidence supports cross‐national differences in the psychological structure of the materialism construct. While personal gain and social gain explain two materialism dimensions for the Japanese and American samples, factor analysis results suggest materialism may have alternative conceptual underpinnings in China. The findings of this study generally fail to support the global teenager hypothesis as it relates to the value of materialism.     

Luxury marketing: The influences of psychological and demographic characteristics on attitudes toward luxury restaurants

This study examined the influences of psychological characteristics (materialism, uniqueness, hedonism, and perfectionism), and demographic characteristics (gender, age, and income) on attitudes toward luxury restaurants. The results showed that consumers who desire materialism and hedonism had favorable attitudes toward luxury restaurants, whereas consumers who desire uniqueness had unfavorable attitudes toward luxury restaurants. Low income populations exhibited more unfavorable attitudes toward luxury restaurants than did middle and high income populations. Consumers who desire uniqueness weakly associate luxury restaurants with overall good service quality, whereas consumers who desire hedonism strongly associate luxury restaurants with overall good service quality.     

The bandwagon luxury consumption in Tunisian case: The roles of independent and interdependent self concept

Using exploratory and confirmatory analyses, this study analyzes the impact of certain psychological and sociological factors (self-concept, social comparison, and materialism) on the “bandwagon” type of luxury consumption in Tunisia. We test if the two components of self-concept (interdependent and independent) have different impacts on the “bandwagon” luxury consumption behavior. In support of existing research on the “bandwagon” effect that focuses on luxury consumption, our framework provides empirical evidence on the direct and indirect effects of the abovementioned psychological and sociological factors as antecedents of the “bandwagon” luxury consumption behavior. Our findings show that the luxury goods industry has evolved, giving rise to new lifestyles and consumption behaviors, where luxury is no longer reserved to the upper class but available to the majority. This phenomenon has created the luxury democratization effect, whereby major luxury brands are favoring luxury goods that are affordable to all.     

Uniqueness and luxury: A moderated mediation approach

Luxury consumption has become a worldwide phenomenon. Irrespective of consumers’ need for uniqueness being considered as an important psychological factor impacting luxury consumption intention, research seldom investigates the impact of CNFU dimensions on luxury consumption. This study investigates how CNFU dimensions (i.e. creative choice counter-conformity, unpopular choice counter-conformity and avoidance of similarity) drive luxury consumption intention in light of the mediating role of social comparison and the moderating role of materialism. Four hundred twenty-eight surveys completed by high-income consumers in India were used for analysis. The findings showed that social comparison mediates the effects of creative choice counter conformity and avoidance of similarity on luxury consumption. Materialism moderates these mediation effects. This study contributes to the luxury consumption literature by explaining how the interplay of psychological and social factor affects luxury purchase intention among the people driven by different uniqueness dimensions. Practically, the findings will be useful to the retailers and marketers of fashion luxury items and brands.     

How materialism affects environmental beliefs, concern, and environmentally responsible behavior

This article examines the relationship between materialism, environmental beliefs, environmental concern, and environmental behaviors. The study used a random telephone survey of 337 US adults. Using a causal modeling approach, the study demonstrates that materialism has a negative effect on environmental beliefs, and these beliefs positively affect environmental concern and environmentally responsible behaviors. The article then provides implications of the results for consumer and environmental policy.
