Moderator analysis revealed that the relationship between materialism and subjective wellbeing was regulated by the publication time, gender differences and type of participants (e.g. publication time could negatively adjust this relationship), while the moderating effects of research approach of subjective wellbeing and the type of publicationwere not significant.
