AB - This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between materialism, appearance orientation, and attitude towards cosmetic surgery among 452 young adult women. We hypothesized that materialism, appearance orientation, and attitudes toward cosmetic surgery would be consistent over time. We also hypothesized that the longitudinal relationship between materialism and attitudes toward cosmetic surgery would be mediated by an increase in appearance orientation. Participants filled out the survey every 6 months for three times. Using an autoregressive cross-lagged modeling we found that materialism, appearance orientation, and attitude towards cosmetic surgery were consistent across time. We also found mutual associations between materialism and appearance orientation, and attitude towards cosmetic surgery. An increase of materialism did not significantly predict an increase of attitude towards cosmetic surgery. Yet, an increase of appearance orientation mediated the link between increases in materialism and attitudes toward cosmetic surgery. This study implies that the highly materialistic culture of Korea could explain the popularity of cosmetic surgery among young adult women.
