Abstract：
This meta-analysis examines the relationship between materialism (materialistic values and extrinsic aspirations) and subjective wellbeing in the Chinese population. Fifty-six relevant studies covering the period from 1998 to 2022 were included in the meta-analysis. Fifty-eight independent effect sizes from a total of 52,368 participants were obtained to calculate the mean effect sizes. Materialistic values correlated with significantly lower subjective wellbeing (r = -0.205), while the mean effect size for extrinsic aspirations was found to be not significant (r = -0.048). The effect sizes varied across different types of wellbeing outcomes (materialistic values: rs = -0.095 to -0.202; extrinsic aspirations: rs = 0.066 to -0.125). The associations were also moderated by certain demographic factors (age and gender), methodological factors (study design and scoring method), publication features (type of publication and publication year), and economic indicators (economic growth and wealth inequality). We discuss our limitations and the implications for future research.
摘要：
这项荟萃分析研究了中国人口中唯物主义（唯物主义价值观和外在愿望）与主观幸福感之间的关系。涵盖1998年至2022年期间的56项相关研究被纳入荟萃分析。从总共52,368名参与者中获得58个独立效应大小来计算平均效应大小。物质价值与显著较低的主观幸福感相关(r=-0.205)，而发现外在愿望的平均效应大小不显著(r=-0.048)。效果大小因不同类型的健康结果而异（物质价值：rs=-0.095至-0.202；外在愿望：rs=0.066至-0.125）。这些协会也受到某些人口因素(年龄和性别)的调节，方法论因素(研究设计和评分方法)，出版物特征（出版物类型和出版年份），和经济指标（经济增长和财富不平等）。我们讨论了我们的局限性以及对未来研究的影响。
