| Sumario: | Chilean society in recent decades has been characterized by the impact produced at the individual and social level of the neoliberal economic model and its influence on attitudes towards consumption and life satisfaction, especially impacting young people. This study aimed to examine the relationship between life satisfaction with material values, attitudes towards consumption and attitudes towards indebtedness in technical higher education students from La Araucanía, Chile. The study was of a correlational cross-sectional type and the sample consisted of 346 participants. The results indicate a direct relationship between life satisfaction and an austere attitude towards indebtedness, while material values are positively related to impulsive and compulsive consumption, in addition, impulsive consumption acts as a predictor of compulsive buying. Likewise, life satisfaction differs according to socioeconomic status. |
