Abstract: AbstractThe main objective of this chapter is to examine the invariance of Richins and Dawson's (1992) previously validated three-factor materialism model scale across different cultural groups of respondents and to analyse and estimate the presence of materialistic values among Europeans, more precisely in samples from Germany, Spain, and Portugal. Through Richins and Dawson's (1992) materialism values scale, we checked and cross-examined the materialistic dimensions among the young people of the countries referred to using Structural Equation Modeling. There are different levels and sort of materialism among the three European countries.
