INSTRUCTIONS:
In this study, please think of three
people you know who typify the psychological concept described below, and write down three acts or behaviors that demonstrate or exemplify that concept. For example, if the
concept is "athletic," you might write down "played basketball" or "hit a
home run in baseball." These are specific behaviors or acts. Do not write
down synonyms or adjectives such as "is strong." We are interested in
acts or behaviors that reflect psychological concepts.
The first concept is MATERIALISTIC (i.e., strongly valuing wealth and luxury). Think of the three most MATERIALISTIC people you personally know. With these people in mind, write down three acts or behaviors that demonstrate or reflect their materialism.
