Davis, Darren W.; Dowley, Kathleen M.; and Silver, Brian D., “Postmaterialism in World Societies: Is it Really a Value Dimension?,” American Journal of Political Science, 43 (July, 1999), 935-962.

Abstract:

Respondents base answers to questions designed to gauge materialist attitudes on the existing conditions in the country in which they reside. Attitudes towards materialism are not always consistent across series of questions, suggesting that materialism does not constitute a unique value dimension.
