Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Compulsive buying can be characterized as an almost irresistible urge to buy various items. Compulsive buying disorder is a subject of growing interest to health professionals. It is a current issue and the prevalence rate in the global population is around 5 to 8%. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to identify predictors of compulsive buying in the Brazilian population, assessing possible relationships between compulsive buying, depression and anxiety. Methods: The Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale was administered to screen for compulsive buying and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression in a sample of 359 participants. Pearson coefficients were used to test for correlations. Results: Our study identified an interaction between female gender and compulsion to purchase. Furthermore, people's occupations also appear to have an influence on the problem. We found a correlation between depressive symptoms and oniomania. Conclusion: Our study has certain limitations, such as the difficulty in recruiting individuals with compulsive buying disorder. Since compulsive buying is a phenomenon that is seldom investigated, it therefore remains unidentified. However, this is nevertheless a pioneering paper on the Brazilian population.

Abstract:

Consumer compulsive buying is an important area of inquiry in consumer behavior research. The importance of studying compulsive buying, stems, in part, from its nature as a negative aspect of consumer behavior. Specifically, exploring negative consumption phenomena could provide modified or new perspectives for the study of positive consumption behaviors. Moreover, research on negative facets of consumption is useful because it can potentially contribute to society’s wellbeing, an important criterion for usefulness of any research. This paper builds on earlier papers to propose a model of compulsivity antecedents. Gender, consumers’ tendency to make unplanned purchases, and their tendency to buy products not on shopping lists, serve to predict compulsive tendencies in a sample of Israeli consumers. The findings suggest that these antecedents affect compulsive tendencies.

Abstract:

Compulsive eating behavior is characterized by ingestion of large amounts of food within a defined period of time (up to two hours), accompanied by a sense of loss of control over what and how much. Thus, this study proposed to functionally analyze compulsive eating. With this purpose, it presents results of analytical-functional studies that, besides describing their function of this food pattern, also propose behavioral interventions, as a counter-control to compulsive eating. Therefore, it demonstrates the methodology of investigation and intervention for this complex class of operant that can be extinguished only through procedures of reorganization of environmental variables and training of alternative behaviors to these.Fatores Ambientais que se Relacionam ao Comer Compulsivo: Uma Visão Analítico-ComportamentalO comportamento alimentar compulsivo se caracteriza pela ingestão de grande quantidade de alimento em um período de tempo delimitado (até duas horas), acompanhado da sensação de perda de controle sobre o que e o quanto se come. A abordagem analítica comportamental possui a visão do papel seletivo do ambiente sobre as ações do organismo, logo o comportamento. Este artigo objetiva explorar o entendimento analítico comportamental acerca do comer compulsivo e informar sobre os fatores ambientais descritos como controladores desse comportamento-problema.

Abstract:

Repetitive behaviors are observed in autism spectrum disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Clinically, obsessive-compulsive disorder obsessions are thought to drive repetitive or ritualistic behavior designed to neutralize subjective distress, while restricted and repetitive behaviors are theorized to be reward- or sensory-driven. Both behaviors are notably heterogeneous and often assessed with parent- or clinician-report, highlighting the need for multi-informant, multi-method approaches. We evaluated the relationship between parent- and child self-reported obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms with parent-reported and clinician-indexed restricted and repetitive behaviors among 92 youth with autism spectrum disorder (ages 7–17 years). Regression analyses controlling for the social communication and interaction component of parent-reported autism spectrum disorder symptoms indicated child self-reported, but not parent-reported, symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder were associated with clinician-observed restricted and repetitive behaviors. Although both parent- and child self-reported obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms were associated with parent-reported restricted and repetitive behaviors, the overlap between parent-reports of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and restricted and repetitive behaviors were likely driven by their shared method of parent-reported measurement. Results suggest that children experience restricted and repetitive behaviors in ways that more closely resemble traditional obsessive-compulsive disorder-like compulsions, whereas their parents view such behaviors as symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. These findings provide guidance for better understanding, distinguishing, and ultimately treating obsessive-compulsive disorder behavior in youth with autism spectrum disorder and introduce new conceptualizations of the phenotypic overlap between these conditions. Lay abstract Youth with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder; however, it can be difficult for parents and clinicians to tell the difference between the restricted and repetitive behaviors often seen in autism spectrum disorder and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. This difficulty in distinguishing symptoms may arise from the fact that these symptoms appear the same to observers but are typically differentiated based on whether the motivation for the behavior is to reduce stress (restricted and repetitive behaviors) or whether the behavior itself is stressful (obsessive-compulsive disorder). It is important to know the difference between these two symptoms as it may impact the treatment prescribed. The goal of this study was to better determine the difference between restricted and repetitive behaviors and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in youth with autism spectrum disorder. It was found that although parents and clinicians had trouble differentiating between the two, the children were able to provide insight as to their own motivations for behavior, and thus whether they were restricted and repetitive behaviors or symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was also found that children may actually have subjective negative experiences when engaging in restricted and repetitive behaviors, which complicates their classification. These results provide guidance for better understanding, distinguishing, and ultimately treating obsessive-compulsive disorder behavior in youth with autism spectrum disorder.

Abstract:

Fur animals kept indoors, due to partial limitation of their natural behavior, are more likely to develop behavioral disorders. This is due to negative emotions associated with inability to satisfy certain needs or achieve a particular purpose, which leads to frustration or deprivation in animals. This condition can lead to the emergence of compulsive behaviors, which are often a form of coping with stress. Compulsive behaviors in fur animals are usually stereotypical: animals walk along the cage, catch their own tail, gnaw fur (trichotilomanie), or bite the trellis or the claws. The environmental factors resulting from the maintenance conditions and social relations of the animals in the group play an important role in the emergence of this type of behavior. Another factor that is equally important in causing compulsive behavior is mental strain resulting from disease..

Abstract:

Background:Compulsive exercise, a form of unhealthy exercise often associated with prioritizing exercise and feeling guilty when exercise is missed, is a common precursor to and symptom of eating disorders. College-aged women are at high risk of exercising compulsively compared with other groups. Social network analysis (SNA) is a theoretical perspective and methodology allowing researchers to observe the effects of relational dynamics on the behaviors of people.Methods:SNA was used to assess the relationship between compulsive exercise and body dissatisfaction, physical activity, and network variables. Descriptive statistics were conducted using SPSS, and quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) analyses were conducted using UCINET.Results:QAP regression analysis revealed a statistically significant model (R2 = .375, P < .0001) predicting compulsive exercise behavior. Physical activity, body dissatisfaction, and network variables were statistically significant predictor variables in the QAP regression model.Discussion:In our sample, women who are connected to “important” or “powerful” people in their network are likely to have higher compulsive exercise scores. This result provides healthcare practitioners key target points for intervention within similar groups of women. For scholars researching eating disorders and associated behaviors, this study supports looking into group dynamics and network structure in conjunction with body dissatisfaction and exercise frequency.

Abstract:

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling psychiatric disease with a lifetime prevalence of 2–3%. People with OCD suffer from intrusive, unwanted and recurrent thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive ritualistic behaviors (compulsions). The aim of this study is to quantify the dimensions of ritualistic ‘compulsive-like’ behavior in quinpirole-induced behavior in rats by using T-pattern behavioral analysis. In addition, we investigated whether the behavioral effects elicited by quinpirole sensitization remained after 2 weeks of cessation of treatment. Finally, to study the neurobiological underpinnings of this ‘compulsive-like’ behavior, we investigated the effect of quinpirole treatment on the extracellular dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens. Once established, ‘compulsive-like’ behavior is dependent upon quinpirole administration, as this behavior rapidly normalized after cessation of treatment. After a single dose of quinpirole the dopamine level decreased more in saline pre-treated animals as compared with animals given quinpirole treatment continuously. Furthermore, T-pattern analysis revealed that quinpirole-induced behavior consists, unlike OCD rituals, of a smaller behavioral repertoire. As seen in patients with OCD, quinpirole-treated animals performed these behaviors with a high rate of repetition. These findings suggest that quinpirole-induced behavior mimics only part of the compulsive behavior as shown in OCD patients.

Abstract:

OCD has been conceptualized as a disorder arising from dysfunctional beliefs, such as overestimating threats or pathological doubts. Yet, how these beliefs lead to compulsions and obsessions remains unclear. Here, we develop a computational model to examine the specific beliefs that trigger and sustain compulsive behavior in a simple symptom-provoking scenario. Our results demonstrate that a single belief disturbance–a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of one’s preventive (harm-avoiding) actions–can trigger and maintain compulsions and is directly linked to compulsion severity. This distrust can further explain a number of seemingly unrelated phenomena in OCD, including the role of not-just-right feelings, the link to intolerance to uncertainty, perfectionism, and overestimation of threat, and deficits in reversal and state learning. Our simulations shed new light on which underlying beliefs drive compulsive behavior and highlight the important role of perceived ability to exert control for OCD.

Abstract:

Compulsive buying is a behavioral disorder that drives consumers to buy more than they need unintentionally. Negative feelings such as depression, sorrow, denial, lack of self-esteem, Etc., are stated as the reasons for this behavior. This research aims to exert the triggering effect of store atmosphere on compulsive buying behavior. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been applied to achieve this aim. Finally, we found that the effect of store atmosphere on compulsive buying behavior has three dimensions. These dimensions are physical environment, promotion, and conspicuous consumption. Statistical tests made by applying the Structural Equation Model show that our model has construct validity, the result of the factor analysis exerts that %73,98 of the total variance is explained, and the reliability score of our questionnaire is .929.

Abstract:

Data mining is a method that is used to find data that are precise, previously uncertain, and logical values from a comprehensive set of information. Data mining is used as a tool for determining the accuracy of classifications of data obtained in the field of bioinformatics by using different algorithm approaches. In this study, the data mining method was used to classify the accuracy of different algorithms and predict the types of compulsive behavior of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder. Data collected from a total of 164 people, 70 males and 94 females, were analyzed. The age range of the people participating in the study was between 7 and 73, and the calculated mean age was 32.4. Data about sociodemographic characteristics, course of disease, treatments, family histories, obsession, and compulsion types of the participants were collected through data collection instruments. Classification algorithm methods found in WEKA software were chosen to process the data. The effect of the types of obsession on the types of compulsion was determined using regression models. The levels of success of the generated models were compared. The results of the study demonstrated the presence of a moderate positive correlation (.35) between these two variables. According to the coefficient of determination, obsession explained 11% of the variance in compulsion. These findings supported the established hypothesis that the effect of the types of obsession was effective on the types of compulsion.

Abstract:

The proliferation of e-commerce has induced the online shopping transactions around the world. The increase trend of online shopping illustrates that there is a dramatic increase in compulsive behavior on online shopping. Shopping online could give an illusion to the consumers that they are not really spending money and become compulsive for many consumers. By adapting the questionnaires outlined, this study validates the compulsive online shopping scale to measure the compulsive online shopping behaviour in Malaysia context. A survey was conducted with a sample of 221 respondents based on convenience-sampling method in the Klang Valley. The factor analysis showed high reliable test of Cronbach alpha for the scales underlying the compulsive online shopping behavior.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTImpulsive-compulsive sexual behavior is a little studied clinical phenomenon which affects ~5% to 6% of the population. In theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision, it is classified as an impulse control disorder not otherwise specified or a sexual disorder not otherwise specified. It may be placed in a possible new category in theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Editioncalled substance and behavioral addictions.This clinical entity is reviewed and the merit of classifying it as an addiction is assessed. Information is presented regarding its diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, types of behavior it can involve, relationship to hypersexuality, comorbidities, treatment, and etiology. The data regarding this disorder and its overlap with chemical addiction is limited. If the two disorders are to be grouped together, further data are needed.

Abstract:

Aim — based on the analysis of the characteristics of Internet addiction, identify its peculiarities on the background of social isolation and security crisis. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on a contingent of 120 respondents (students of higher education) aged 18 to 23, who have experience of permanent stay in conditions of social isolation in Ukraine (2020—2023), with established Internet-addiction according to Internet Addiction Test (K. Young, 1998) and Internet Use Disorders Identification Test (Linskiy I. V., Minko A. I., Artemchuk A. P. et al., 2009). The distribution of the contingent by gender was symmetrical. The research method is a structured psychological interview. Study results. In our analysis, it becomes evident that the excessive utilization of the Internet does not merely align with a series of non-chemical addictions; rather, it operates as a facilitative mechanism for a broad range of behavioral and psychological transgressions, which arise as an interconnected functional entity. Within this multifaceted spectrum, we discern two discrete categories: the formation of compulsive behavior patterns and the justification of pre-existing behavior abnormalities. Compulsive behavior patterns include compulsive gaming and gambling behavior, compulsive social media use, compulsive pornography consumption, news-related compulsive behavior. Formation of compulsive behavior patterns associated with problematic excessive use of Internet have such mechanisms: openness and accessibility of hyper-stimulating content, reinforcement and rewards with feedback loops, social comparison, escapism and avoidance, information overload. Justification of pre-existing behavior abnormalities associated with problematic excessive use of Internet include reinforcement of attention-seeking and provocative behaviors; reinforcement of rude and violent behaviors, reinforcement of self-harm and destructive behaviors, progressive reinforcement of deviant sexuality, reinforcement of cult-like behavior. Noticed underlying mechanisms: echo chambers, disinhibition due to anonymity, group polarization and competitive dynamics. Conclusions. Behavioral and psychological disorders linked to problematic excessive Internet use do not fit neatly into a singular pathological disorder classification within current assessment frameworks that may trivialize Internet addiction as a mere form of non-chemical addiction. Instead, in the contemporary context, it is imperative to examine and thoroughly evaluate the intricate array of behavioral and psychological disorders that manifest through Internet usage. Key words: Internet, addiction, Internet addiction, compulsions, behavior violations

Abstract:

Background: The advent of digital commerce has significantly altered consumer behaviors, particularly among college students who represent a dynamic and influential demographic. While online shopping offers convenience and a broad range of choices, it has also led to concerns regarding online shopping addiction, compulsive buying behavior, and their impacts on life satisfaction. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing strategies to address potential negative outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to examine the impact of online shopping addiction on compulsive buying behavior and life satisfaction among college students, with a particular focus on identifying gender differences in online shopping behaviors. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional survey design, the study sampled 200 college students from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, using purposive sampling techniques. Instruments included the Online Shopping Addiction Scale (OSAS), Compulsive Buying Behavior Screening Tool (CBBST), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), with data analysis conducted through Pearson correlation, t-tests, and linear regression analyses using SPSS version 25. Results: The study revealed significant gender differences in online shopping addiction, with female students showing higher levels of addiction (M = 49.5, SD = 12.0) compared to male students (M = 43.1, SD = 12.4), t(198) = 3.7, p < .000. A strong positive correlation was found between online shopping addiction and compulsive buying behavior (r = .64, p < .000). Online shopping addiction predicted 41% of the variance in compulsive buying behavior (β = .64, p < .000) but had a minimal impact on life satisfaction, explaining only 3% of the variance (β = .05, p = .4). Conclusion: The findings underscore the significant role of online shopping addiction in influencing compulsive buying behaviors among college students, with notable gender differences in addiction levels. However, the impact of online shopping addiction on life satisfaction remains minimal. These insights highlight the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the negative effects of online shopping addiction and support healthier consumer behaviors among young adults.

Abstract:

Compulsive buying is an important field of study in consumer research. The present study is one of the first to use socio-demographic data to examine the dynamics of compulsive buying behavior in Malaysia. For this research, a representative sample of 624 Malaysian consumers was identified using the street intercepts method. This study established a cut-off point to separate compulsive Malaysian consumers from those who are not. The findings reveal that 10.5% of Malaysians engage in compulsive buying behaviors. This study also developed a Consumer Buying Continuum, which suggests that 184 (29.5%) of the respondents were categorized as non-compulsive buyers, 232 (37.2%) individuals were classified as recreational buyers, 142 (22.8%) of the sample population were categorized as borderline compulsive buyers and 66 (10.5%) individuals were categorized as compulsive buyers. Surprisingly, the results indicate that demographic parameters such as gender, age, and income differentiate compulsive buyers from those who are not, with females and younger individuals exhibiting this behavior more than others. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract:

Objectives: A study to assess the correlation between screen time exposure and nutritional status and compulsive eating behaviors. Background: Screen time is a sedentary activity that affects child’s physical and mental development. Eating behavior research focuses on the prevention and treatment of obesity and eating disorders. Restrained or emotional eating in children and adolescents suggests relationships with body weight or obesity. Childhood overweight and obesity can lead to many health-related conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, and cancer. Method: The sample was composed of 100 subjects ranging from 5-12 years old. A growth chart from the IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) was used to record nutrition status. Kagan et al. Compulsive eating was examined with a questionnaire. Screen time was assessed by AAP (American academy of paediatrics) screen time by age guidelines. All data were analysed through probability value, correlation was done by Pearson’s correlation and chi-square test. Result: The result showed that out of 100, 14 % of participants had moderately used screens and 86% had excessive use of screens. 38% of participants had low- compulsive eating, 48% of participants had moderate compulsive eating and 14% of participants had high-compulsive eating. Conclusion: The correlation between screen time, compulsive eating, and junk food consumption showed that participants who had higher screen time had higher compulsive eating, lower physical activity, and more junk food consumption.

Abstract:

Treatment with dopamine agonists in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with debilitating neuropsychiatric side-effects characterized by impulsive and compulsive behaviors. The vulnerability to develop such impairments is thought to involve interactions between individual vulnerability traits, types of antiparkinsonian medications, and the neurodegenerative process. We investigated the effect of the dopamine D3/D2 agonist pramipexole (PPX) and selective nigrostriatal degeneration achieved by viral-mediated expression of alpha-synuclein on the expression of repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors in rats. In a task assessing spontaneous food hoarding behavior, PPX increased the time spent interacting with food pellets at the expense of hoarding. This disruption of hoarding behavior was identical in sham and lesioned rats. In an operant post-training signal attenuation task, the combination of nigrostriatal lesion and PPX decreased the number of completed trials and increased the number of uncompleted trials. The lesion led to an increased compulsive behavior after signal attenuation, and PPX shifted the overall behavioral output towards an increased proportion of compulsive lever-presses. Given the magnitude of the behavioral effects and the lack of strong interaction between PPX and nigral degeneration, these results suggest that extra-nigral pathology may be critical to increase the vulnerability to develop compulsive behaviors following treatment with D3/D2 agonists.

Abstract:

In contemporary society, following the sudden changes that occur, different forms of addiction are becoming popular. Of note are the new addictions and concepts of poly-dependencies that involve common behaviors and trap people who suffering from them in a vicious circle. The main goal of this study is to investigate the possible mediating role that self-esteem had between trait anxiety and two specific new addictions: compulsive buying behavior and eating disorders. Furthermore, it was verified through a multigroup analysis that trait anxiety had a greater effect on eating disorders in a group of compulsive consumers. Three-hundred and fifty-two participants (67.9% women) were enrolled to participate in this study. The results showed that there was a direct effect of trait anxiety on eating disorders and on compulsive buying behavior; self-esteem mediated the effect of trait anxiety on eating disorders and compulsive buying behavior with specific differences; multi-group analysis showed differences in anxiety’s effect on eating disorders between compulsive and non-compulsive consumers; the group of compulsive consumers revealed a significant and stronger effect of trait anxiety on eating disorders in all domains identified. Further research is recommended to better understand the predictors of these disorders and to contribute to a more effective preventive intervention.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to online impulsive and online compulsive buying behaviours among Vietnamese consumers, given the increasing prevalence of online shopping. A survey of 562 participants (104 offline and 548 online) and Partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) were recruited to empirically examine the proposed research model. We found that (1) Performance Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions, Social Influence, Effort Expectancy and Stimulus shared positive relations with Online Buying Intention; (2) Scarcity posed significant impact on both Online Impulsive and Compulsive Buying Behaviors; (3) Online Buying Intention was only a key determinant of Online Impulsive Buying Behavior; and (4) Online Impulsive Buying proved to be a significant predictor of Online Compulsive Buying Behavior. By integrating the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, the research revealed a meaningful underlying mechanism regarding how consumers’ technological acceptance, platforms’ stimulus, and scarcity can motivate their actual impulsive and compulsive purchasing behaviors in prevalent online settings. Platform designers should offer more and more technological usefulness and conveniences to increase consumers’ online buying intentions, while marketers should consider scarcity as the focal point of their strategies.

Abstract:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) encompasses a spectrum of clinical symptoms characterized by unwanted thoughts coupled with an intense compulsion to act and to repeat behavior fragments in a ritualistic and stereotyped sequence. Obsessive-compulsive symptom due to brain lesions is not rare, but suppression of these symptoms after head trauma is very rare and we found only 3 cases in review of literatures from 1966 to 2001. The case of a patient suffering with severe OCD is described of note; her symptoms disappeared following right temporo-parietofrontal lesion.

ObjectiveReligious themes commonly feature in religious with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD which includes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components, is a debilitating chronic disorder and can affects on patient’ marital satisfaction. The aim of us was to evaluate efficacy of Religious Cognitive- Behavior therapy (RCBT) on religious oriented Obsessive-Compulsive disorder and marital satisfaction.MethodThis is a randomized controlled clinical trial. This study conducted on 90 OCD outpatients with 17 and more Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale(Y-BOCS) and religious content OCD. Intervention consists of 10 weekly RCBT. We used Enrich scale for asses’ marital satisfaction and Y-BOCS scale before and after treatment.Data were analyzed by ANCOVA/ANOVA repeated measure test using SPSS version ver.15.ResultIn our study duration of OCD was 11.5 ± 8.6 years & 11.5 ± 8.8 years and duration of marriage was 16.88 ± 11.6 & 13.51 ± 10.9 years Yale Brown scores after intervention decreased with significant difference (p = 0.001). There were significant difference between mean scores of two groups (p = 0.001). Comparison of obsession subscale and compulsion subscale of Yale Brown scale showed decreasing trend in both of obsession subscale and compulsion either within or between group is statistically significant (p = 0.001).Also marital satisfaction significantly improved in case group (p = 0.001).ConclusionIn religious patients with religious contents, religious based interventions like religious CBT could significantly increase clinical responses. Also theses interventions could improve marital status. These results suggest that Religious Cognitive-Behavior Therapy can be effective for religious oriented OCD patients.

Abstract:

Over the past decade, new innovative products and services have been introduced into the marketplace using advanced technology. The enticement of new products lures consumers to buy compulsively. Because of the convenience and the characteristics of online shopping, it will increase the incidence of compulsive-buying behavior. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to spread around the world, consumers may change their decision-making and behavior to shop online more frequently and intensively. The repetitive shopping online means more cardboard, delivery transportations, and vehicles and that more goods will be produced. It will result in an unfriendly result for the environment. Given the critical role of compulsive buying in the emerging Internet retail environment, it is necessary to develop and validate an instrument to measure the Internet compulsive-buying tendency (ICBT). Therefore, a rigorous measurement-scale-development procedure was applied to evaluate the initial 31 items. After two rounds of data collection and assessment, the final instrument contained 18 items that fall into four subconstructs: the tendency to spend online, feelings about online shopping and spending, dysfunctional online spending, and online post-purchase guilt. These factors can provide a basis for predicting tendencies toward Internet compulsive shopping and can be used to evaluate consumers’ abnormal behavior in online-shopping circumstances.

Abstract:

This research delves into the impact of job burnout on compulsive buying behavior within a group of 210 Indonesian domestic migrant workers in Taiwan. The study explores how ego depletion mediates this relationship and how consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence moderates it. A survey method was used to collect data from participants, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that job burnout significantly heightens compulsive buying tendencies. However, ego depletion does not act as a mediating factor. On the contrary, consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence plays a significant moderating role between ego depletion and compulsive buying, indicating that greater susceptibility weakens the impact of ego depletion on compulsive buying behavior. These results underscore the importance of addressing job burnout and considering interpersonal influences to mitigate compulsive buying behaviors among Indonesian domestic migrant workers in Taiwan, potentially enhancing their mental and financial well-being through targeted interventions.

Abstract:

While researches on consumer compulsive behaviour as a psychiatric problem have been steadily increasing, they seem to be a paucity of studies that investigate compulsive buying behaviour from a branding perspective. The present research is an attempt to fill this gap by examining the relative influence of four antecedents of compulsive buying behaviour - brand experience, brand satisfaction, brand trust and brand attachment on consumer compulsive buying behaviour, using a sample of consumers in Gauteng Province of South Africa. The central argument of this paper is that consumer compulsive buying behavior can be understood from the strength of branding outcomes. Four hypotheses are posited and in order to empirically test these hypotheses, a sample data set of 151 was used. Three hypotheses were supported while one (H1) was rejected. Drawing from the study findings, managerial implications are discussed and limitations and future research directions are suggested. On the overall, this study provide tentative empirical support that compulsive buying behaviour can be influenced by branding outcomes in Africa - a context that is often most less researched on.

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of the perception of maslahah on compulsive buying behavior This research is a quantitative research by integrating the dimensions of maslahah perception into the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model. TPB is an integrated model that consists of four predictors of behavior, namely attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and intentions to behave. Sampling using Purposive Sampling, that is 200 respondents. To measure the variables using the Continuous rate scale. While the data analysis technique used in this research is path analysis using Smart PLS 2.0 (Partial Least Square) software. The results of the study said that the maslahah perception construct had a significant effect on the attitude construct even though it was weak at 5.5%. Which means there are still about 94.5% of the attitude variables are influenced by other factors. Then the attitude construct has a significant effect on the compulsive buying behavior construct of 47.6%, which means that there are still around 52.4% of the variable Compulsive Buying Behavior which can be explained from other factors. While the construct of subjective norms and behavioral control has no effect on compulsive buying behavior. The reason for the rejection of these two hypotheses is thought to be because Muslim communities who have high subjective norms and behavioral control do not change their behavior in compulsive buying to be higher.Keywords: Maslahah, Compulsive Buying, Theory of Planned Behaviour

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating roles of materialism and self-esteem in explaining how family conflict leads to adolescent compulsive buying. Despite the importance of family as a primary socialization agent, scant research has focused on how family conflict impacts adolescents’ attitudes and behaviors as consumers. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 1,289 adolescents was conducted in a public high school in the Midwestern USA. Regression analyses were used to assess the mediating roles of materialism and self-esteem on the relationship between family conflict and compulsive buying. Additionally, gender was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between family conflict and the two mediating variables. Findings Results showed that family conflict increased adolescent materialism and lowered self-esteem. Gender moderated the relationship between family conflict and self-esteem with a more pronounced effect for females than males. Materialism and self-esteem were significantly related to compulsive buying. Family conflict had a significant indirect effect on compulsive buying through materialism for females and through self-esteem for both male and female. Research limitations/implications Findings suggest that family conflict impacts compulsive buying through its impact on both materialism and self-esteem. Future research is needed to explain why adolescents use compulsive buying as a coping mechanism for family conflict. Then, whether such behavior leads to improved well-being. Practical implications Results suggest that adolescents use compulsive buying to cope with family conflict. The study’s focus on family conflict, not simply divorce, expands its implications to all households, intact or not. Originality/value This study created a new model of family conflict’s impact on adolescent consumers’ attitudes and behavior.

The article is devoted to the study of the clinical picture of compulsive sexual disorders in men as a manifestation of various mental disorders. The authors compare and analyze psychopathological features in patients with compulsive behavioral disorders in the form of compulsive masturbation within four different clinical groups. Concurrently, the presence and clinical and psychopathological features of such a phenomenon as a compulsive sexual disorder are considered not only as an important diagnostic criterion for the qualification of mental disorder, but also for the development of adequate therapeutic measures. The article proposes a program of effective therapy and rehabilitation for these disorders.

Abstract:

Purpose – This article investigates the role that brands play in influencing the behavior and purchase decisions of compulsive buyers and whether this role differs for noncompulsive buyers, resulting in four research propositions. Design/methodology/approach – In-depth interviews, conducted with ten compulsive and ten noncompulsive buyers, reveal several interesting differences between the groups. Findings – The findings reveal several interesting differences between compulsive buyers and noncompulsive buyers. Noncompulsive buyers seem to appreciate and focus mainly on functional benefits of branded products and avoid buying unbranded products, whereas compulsive buyers value emotional and social benefits but often decide to buy “more and cheaper” items to achieve variety in their purchases. Noncompulsive buyers develop brand trust in, attachment to and higher willingness to pay for their favorite brand than for other brands, whereas compulsive buyers even struggle to name a favorite brand. Furthermore, compulsive buyers engage in more brand switching than noncompulsive buyers. Research limitations/implications – While this research provides the first, in-depth findings, a large-scale survey research is called for to provide statistically valid tests of the authors ' propositions. Practical implications – The findings indicate that compulsive and noncompulsive buyers seek different benefits of brands. Stressing the good quality should be particularly effective for noncompulsive buyers, whereas compulsive buyers will be triggered more effectively by claims about the emotional benefits. This finding has obvious implications for brand communication strategies but also raises an important ethical dilemma. The findings further indicate that compulsive buyers react to branded products in ways that may hurt brands with high brand equity. These, therefore, have an incentive to help compulsive buyers overcome this problem, rather than encouraging them in their buying behavior. Social implications – Considering the harmful effects of compulsive buying behavior on a person’s well-being, manufacturers and retailers should take corporate social responsibility in this situation and help society deal with it, using both proactive and reactive methods. For example, to facilitate the early identification of this type of behavior, retailers might stimulate customers to think about their purchasing motivations and inform them about the risks of compulsive buying. They could initiate the development, support or sponsorship of a “Shop Responsibly” campaign to help customers avoid such buying behaviors. Not only would these efforts increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, but they could boost the public image of the firm as a responsible organization that cares for societal well-being. Originality/value – This is the first study to investigate how compulsive buyers approach brands and whether they approach brands differently from noncompulsive buyers. It can draw attention to and encourage future research in this important area.

Abstract:

It has been shown these last years that optogenetic tool, that uses a combination of optics and genetics technics to control neuronal activity with light on behaving animals, allows to establish causal relationship between brain activity and normal or pathological behaviors [3]. In combination with animal model of neuropsychiatric disorder, optogenetic could help to identify deficient circuitry in numerous pathologies by exploring functional connectivity, with a specificity never reached before, while observing behavioral and/or physiological correlates. To illustrate the promising potential of these tools for the understanding of psychiatric diseases, we will present our recent study where we used optogenetic to block abnormal repetitive behavior in a mutant mouse model of obsessive-compulsive disorder [1]. Using a delay-conditioning task we showed that these mutant mouse model had a deficit in response inhibition that lead to repetitive behaviour. With optogenetic, we could stimulate a specific circuitry in the brain that connect the orbitofrontal cortex with the basal ganglia; a circuitry that has been shown to be dysfunctional in compulsive behaviors. We observed that these optogenetic stimulations, through their effect on inhibitory neurons of the basal ganglia, could restore the behavioral response inhibition and alleviate the compulsive behavior. These findings raise promising potential for the design of targeted deep brain stimulation therapy for disorders involving excessive repetitive behavior and/or for the optimization of already existing stimulation protocol [2].

Abstract:

PurposeCompulsive buying continues to be a maladaptive behavior that draws the attention of both scholars and marketers. The present study aims to investigate the determinants of compulsive buying, which are conceptualized as impulsive and obsessive–compulsive buying, and the mediation effect of brand attachment.Design/methodology/approachUsing purposive sampling, a self-administered questionnaire was completed by 600 young consumers in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe results show that materialism, utilitarian value, and brand attachment are positively related to impulsive buying, while materialism, hedonic value, and brand attachment have a positive effect on obsessive–compulsive buying. In addition, brand attachment is found to mediate the effect of materialism and utilitarian value on both compulsive buying.Research limitations/implicationsThe study provides new insights into brand management literature by examining the predictors of impulsive and obsessive–compulsive buying. Moreover, brand attachment is found to be a significant mechanism that induces negative buying behavior. However, due to the growth of online shopping, future research should consider different types of retailers to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter in the modern business landscape.Originality/valueBeing one of the few studies to address both impulsive and obsessive–compulsive buying behaviors among consumers, this study highlights the essential role of brand attachment as a mediator in the contemporary setting. Moreover, the interrelationships between self-congruence, materialism, hedonic value, utilitarian value, brand attachment, and compulsive buying behavior are examined in a holistic manner.
