摘要

Greed is the insatiable desire for more, stemming from being dissatisfied with one currently possesses. Dispositional greed or trait greed refers to an individual’s tendency to be greedy. The Dispositional Greed Scale (DGS) captures the individual differences in greediness via 7 items (or 3 items in the short scale). The DGS is available in at least eight languages. The scale was originally developed in English and Dutch, and has been translated into Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The scale has also been adapted for usage with young children (filled in by their parents). Across multiple studies with many different samples the DGS showed unidimensionality, high internal consistency, and good test-retest reliability.
