Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Adolescent shopping behavior exists on a spectrum, with problematic patterns being poorly understood.
  • The relationship between problematic shopping and other health/behavioral issues in teens requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of problem shopping among high school students.
  • To examine the association between problem shopping and various health and behavioral factors.

Main Methods:

  • A self-report survey was administered to a large sample of 3,999 high school students.
  • The survey collected data on demographics, shopping habits, substance use, and behavioral functioning.

Main Results:

  • Problem shopping prevalence was 3.5% in the surveyed adolescent population.
  • Problem shopping was linked to smoking, drug use, depression symptoms, and antisocial behaviors in both genders.
  • Heavy alcohol use correlated with problem shopping specifically in girls.

Conclusions:

  • Problem shopping is relatively common in adolescents and co-occurs with addictive and antisocial behaviors.
  • Significant distress and impaired behavioral control indicate potential morbidity associated with excessive shopping.
  • Further research is necessary to develop effective prevention and treatment for adolescent problem shoppers.
