| dc.description.abstract | The findings reveal that authenticity of designer clothes is less important than the
appearance of wealth, girls exhibit higher materialistic tendencies influenced by societal
pressures, and materialistic behaviors are strongly connected to financial situations and
communal needs. Despite limitations such as a small, gender-specific sample and short
interview duration, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers and social workers.
Future research should include a more diverse sample and longer interviews to deepen the
understanding of materialism in disadvantaged youth. | |

| dc.subject | This study explores the relationship between youth growing up in underprivileged neighborhoods and their attitudes towards materialism, particularly focusing on designer clothing, gender differences, and available resources. Through qualitative interviews with boys from Kaneleneiland, Utrecht, three main themes emerged: the acceptance of fake designer clothing, gender-specific focus on materialism, and the impact of resources on materialistic behaviors. | |
