Prior research has largely focused on the negative influence of peers and negative patterns of parent-child interactions to explain risky and unethical consumer behaviors. We take a different perspective by focusing on the positive support of parents and peers in adolescent social development. An integrative model is developed that links parental and peer support with adolescents' self-worth motives, their materialistic tendencies, and their consumer ethical beliefs. In a study of 984 adolescents, we demonstrate support for a sequential mediation model in which peer and parental support is positively related to adolescents' self-esteem and feelings of power, which are each associated with decreased materialism as a means of compensating for low self-worth. This reduced materialism is, in turn, associated with more ethical consumer beliefs. %G English %Z HEC Research Paper Series %L hal-01933852 %U https://hec.hal.science/hal-01933852 %~ SHS %~ UNIV-ARTOIS %~ HEC %~ CNRS %~ LEM_LILLE %~ UNIV-LILLE %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ UNIV-CATHOLILLE
