Using a sample of 1854 consumers from the United States, China and Japan, this article investigates the relationship between materialism and attitudes toward advertising in general. The results suggest the materialism-attitudes toward advertising relationships is moderated by consumer expertise. The relationship is stronger when consumer expertise is high as opposed to low. Strategic implications of this research for practicing managers are discussed.
