Abstract

The practice of "flexing," showing off one's wealth and status, gradually penetrates daily life on various social media platforms, most notably Instagram. We investigated the extent to which exposure to conspicuous consumption by a stranger stimulated the viewers' materialistic aspiration and whether this effect could be mediated by anticipated engagement and moderated by trait mindfulness. A large number of Instagram users in Indonesia (N = 2,296, 75.30% female; Mage = 31.14 years old, SDage = 7.09) completed the trait mindfulness scale, randomly received a single Instagram photo showcasing luxury material vs. experiential purchase, provided an estimate of the intensity of love and comment from other viewers (i.e., anticipated engagement), and filled out the materialistic aspiration scale. Participants exposed to material purchase reported higher aspiration than those exposed to experiential purchase, but lower anticipated engagements also reduced materialistic aspiration. Participants with higher trait mindfulness were better at distinguishing the effects of conspicuous consumption on anticipated engagement and materialistic aspiration. These findings indicate that the viewers' anticipation of collective attention could reverse the impact of exposure to conspicuous consumption and the potential of trait mindfulness as an anti-mimetic quality for situational materialism.

有人刚刚在 Instagram 上发帖了:显性消费、预期参与和特质心智。
在各种社交媒体平台上,尤其是在 Instagram 上,"炫耀"(即炫耀自己的财富和地位)的做法逐渐渗透到日常生活中。我们研究了接触陌生人的炫耀性消费在多大程度上刺激了观看者的物质主义愿望,以及这种效应是否会受到预期参与的中介和特质心智的调节。大量印度尼西亚的 Instagram 用户(N = 2,296,75.30% 为女性;Mage = 31.14 岁,SDage = 7.09)填写了特质正念量表,随机接收了一张 Instagram 照片,展示了奢侈的物质购买与体验购买,提供了对其他观众的喜爱和评论强度的估计(即预期参与),并填写了物质主义愿望量表。与体验式购买的受试者相比,物质购买的受试者报告了更高的愿望,但较低的预期参与度也降低了物质愿望。特质正念较高的参与者更善于区分炫耀性消费对预期参与和物质愿望的影响。这些研究结果表明,观众对集体关注的预期可以扭转暴露于炫耀性消费的影响,而特质正念有可能成为情景物质主义的反模仿品质。
