The present study validated the bifactor model of the Material Values Scale (MVS) and examined the association between materialism and subjective well-being (SWD). Study 1 utilized a material values questionnaire that 1673 college students completed. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the bifactor model of the MVS had a better fit than other models. Likewise, the findings were replicated in Study 2 using a larger sample size (N = 2627). Through structural equation modeling, only the general and specific factors of success were found to be negative predictors of SWD. Our study both provides a methodological reference for measuring the MVS and compensates for the limitations of MVS measurement results.
