Abstract
Our paper investigates how materialism and reference group influence may affect consumers’ preference for western culture, manifesting through the consumption of western branded clothing. A questionnaire completed by 182 Taiwanese women revealed that materialism had no significant affect on their clothing brand preferences. Reference groups, however, significantly influenced Taiwanese women to purchase Western branded clothing.
