Materialism refers to the extent to which one places importance on material wealth in defining success, self-conception, and happiness. As China＇s economy has developed rapidly in recent years, the people＇s living standards have improved, and this change provides a breeding ground for the rise of materialism. The values of materialism are becoming more prevalent among the Chinese people, especially among the young people. On the other hand, people began to pay more attention to their own well-being with social development and economic growth. Nowadays the rise of materialism and the attention to well-being are becoming the concerns of Chinese people. A large number of previous studies have found that materialism and well-being are negatively correlated and researchers have begun to explore the internal relations. They have found that many factors play the role of mediation between materialism and well-being. Those factors help us understand the mechanism and the impact of materialism on our well-being, inform us how to improve our lives, life satisfaction and understand the characteristics of human mental activities. In China, there are not many studies about materialism. Only a few studies investigated the relations between materialism and well-being. Even fewer are the studies of their internal relations. This situation does not meet the demand for the research in China. Based on the research of foreign and Chinese materialism, given the great difterences in culture, lifestyle and individual values between Western countries and China, we cannot conclude that the results of Western studies are appropriate for the people in China. So the studies of the relationship between materialism and well-belng in the Chinese population and Chinese culture are in order. By reviewing the foreign studies, we found that gratitude may play a mediating role between materialism and well-being. In order to obtain the information about materialism and well-being in the Chinese population, this study will validate and further expand this research. We also want to investigate the mediating mechanism in the hope of contributing to cultivating sound national values and improving national well-being. With a sample of 701 adolescents, this study examined the relationship between adolescents＇ materialism and well-being via grati-tude, using the Adolescents＇ Gratitude Scale, the Material Values Scale, the Subjective Well-being Scale, the Revisited Psychological Well-being Scale, and the Physical Symptoms Questionnaire. The results indicated that：（ 1 ） Adolescents＇ materialism was significantly positively associated with negative affect, and it was significantly negatively associated with positive affect, life satisfaction, psychologi- cal well-being, good health, and gratitude; gratitude was significantly positively associated with positive affect, life satisfaction, psychological well-being and good health, and it was significantly negatively associated with negative affect. （2） Gratitude partially mediated the relationship between adolescents＇ materialism and their negative affect, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and good health. Gratitude completely mediated the relationship between adolescents＇ materialism and their positive affect.
