Elements of personality are incorporated (operationalized as adolescent socialization types) to isolate the pertinent adolescent socialization types that discern the highly-from lowly consumer socialized mothers. Via binary logistic regression analysis, findings from adolescents’ perspective revealed that the most discerning traits that differentiate the highly consumer socialized mothers from the least consumer socialized mothers are the adolescents’ levels of agreeableness and need for body resources. On the contrary, mother’s were not susceptible to any of the adolescent personality traits. ER -
