Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Compulsive buying behavior is often viewed as pathological.
  • Emerging research suggests links to general financial attitudes and materialistic values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between compulsive buying tendencies and financial behaviors, values, and wisdom.
  • To determine if compulsive buying is inherently pathological or an extreme manifestation of common habits.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 240 community residents.
  • Utilized the Compulsive Buying Scale, Material Values Scale, Canadian Problem Gambling Index, Executive Personal Finance Scale, and Ardelt's wisdom scale.

Main Results:

  • Compulsive buying scores positively correlated with materialistic values and problem gambling scores.
  • Compulsive buying scores negatively correlated with financial management skills and wisdom.

Conclusions:

  • Compulsive buying tendencies may not be pathological but are associated with general attitudes toward money, financial management, and materialism.
  • Findings suggest compulsive buying reflects an extreme form of common human habits and values.
