Abstract

The present research, enshrined in Project Fondecyt N° 1090179, searched to identify differences in attitudes toward purchase and consumption between educational students and teachers of the Temuco city. The sample was formed by 88 students and 103 teachers; we applied them the Scale Attitudes toward Consumption and Purchase (Tang y Luna, 1999, citado en Gebauer, Schäfer y Soto, 2003) and Materialism Scale (Richins y Dawson, 1992). The results show that women present rational attitudes in coexistence with impulsive attitudes. On the other side, the teachers have a rational attitude and tend to consider the materialism central in their lives compared to educational students. The discoveries are discussed in base to the existents antecedents in this line research
