    THE MATERIAL/ECONOMIC

    possessions and
    maintenance of particular
    lifestyles.
    ACQUISITION OF GOODS AND SENSE OF
    SELF
    People often purchase products that align with their
    personality and values. Material possessions serve as
    extensions of one's self and identity, conveying certain
    aspects of their personality to others. By selecting specific
    items, individuals communicate their preferences, tastes,
    and interests, thereby shaping their sense of self. .
