this to define personal values of self-concept and personal achievement.Based on the idea of "phenomenon-mechanism-application",this study finds that social comparative tendency will increase materialism and reduce the sense of security of high school students,the sense of security will also affect materialism of high school students,and the level of self-esteem will also affect individual sense of security and materialism.Therefore,self-esteem and sense of security,variables closely related to individual growth,are introduced.This paper studies the status quo of high school students’ social comparative tendency,sense of security,self-esteem and materialism,and discusses the relationship between them and the mechanism of action on materialism.This study adopted the Iowa-Holland
