“…Second, future research should consider conducting longitudinal studies in order to gain some insight into the effects of mindsets in the development of compulsive buying behavior (Moschis, 2017). Previous research has shown that compulsive buying behavior usually develops over time and is often associated with childhood and adolescent experiences (Brook, Zhang, Brook, & Leukefeld, 2015; Grougiou et al, 2015). Similarly, mindsets are also shaped by external factors such as social networks and trusted people (Crum & Zuckerman, 2017).…”

This study investigates how mindsets (i.e., the beliefs that individuals have about the nature of human characteristics) are associated with compulsive buying behavior (i.e., the tendency to buy impulsively and obsessively). In particular, we test the relationships between consumer mindsets, three shopping motivations (deal proneness, social comparison, and hedonic motives) and compulsive buying. Based on a survey of 421 respondents conducted in China, our findings reveal the mechanism through which mindsets affect compulsive buying. The results show that when consumers believe in the consistency of personal traits (fixed mindset), they tend to be more vulnerable to deal offers and social comparison. These motivations increase the desire to seek hedonic pleasure, which is associated with a greater propensity for compulsive buying. However, when consumers believe that personal traits can be changed and developed (growth mindset), they seek hedonic pleasure in shopping, which result in a greater tendency to engage in compulsive buying. The present study adds to the existing body of knowledge by unveiling how different mindsets are associated with compulsive buying. In terms of practical implications, this study provides policy makers and marketers with a better understanding of the different motivations that lead to compulsive buying.

“…However, the rates of lifetime diagnosis of ADHD in compulsive buyers were found to be comparable to those of control subjects (4 % vs. 6 %, respectively) (Black et al 2012). Brook et al (2015) recently sought to determine the precursors of compulsive buying disorder across a 29-year time-period from mean ages 14 to 43 years. In this longitudinal study, earlier concurrent ADHD symptoms, as well as being female and having depression or illicit drug abuse were found to be independent precursors of compulsive buying disorder (Brook et al 2015).…”

It is apparent that the number of studies on the association of compulsive buying disorder with ADHD is not large enough to draw definitive conclusions, and that there is a need for further studies.…”

We aimed to conduct a systematic review to examine the rates of comorbid Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and various behavioral addictions, including gambling disorder, food addiction/binge-eating disorder, sex addiction/hypersexuality disorder, Internet addiction/Internet gaming disorder, compulsive buying disorder, and exercise addiction. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles published before December, 2015. Exclusion criteria were studies with either behavioral addictions or ADHD only, but not both; review articles, case reports, case series, book chapters, and letters to the editor. Studies not using standardized diagnostic criteria for ADHD, gambling disorder, or binge-eating disorder were also excluded. Of the 3126 citations found, 14 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Five reported results for rates of comorbid ADHD and gambling disorder, three for those of ADHD and binge-eating disorder, two for those of ADHD and sex addiction, and four for those of ADHD and Internet addiction. No studies were found to report rates of comorbid ADHD and compulsive buying disorder or exercise addiction. The prevalence of comorbid ADHD in individuals with behavioral addictions ranged from 5.8 % to 88.3 %. The prevalence of comorbid behavioral addictions in those with ADHD ranged from 5.9 % to 71.8 %. This systematic review revealed a high degree of co-occurrence of ADHD and behavioral addictions. The findings of this review shed light on the need to explore the links between ADHD and behavioral addictions and their implications for treatment.

“…Lastly, extant research has demonstrated gender differences in compulsive buying (Achtziger, Hubert, Kenning, Raab, & Reisch, 2015; Brook et al., 2015; d’Astous, 1990; Faber, Christenson, de Zwaan, & Mitchell, 1995; Koran, Bullock, Hartston, Elliott, & D’Andrea, 2002), as well as psychological symptoms, coping styles, and cognitive biases. Recent studies have also noted that the underlying factors of compulsive buying differ between males and females (e.g., see Mueller et al., 2011).…”

Background and aimsThe addictive nature of compulsive buying implies that mood disturbances, stress, and cognitive biases that underlie compulsive buying might operate in ways similar in both genders. In the current study, we aimed to test hypothetical pathways of mood compensation and irrational cognitions, which may explain compulsive buying tendencies. We also examined potential gender differences in these pathways.MethodsTwo-hundred and thirty-two male (age: M = 20.30, SD = 1.74) and 373 female Chinese college students (age: M = 19.97, SD = 1.74) in Hong Kong and Macau completed measures assessing compulsive buying, psychological distress, avoidance coping, materialism, and buying-related cognitions. Mediation analyses via a structural equation modeling approach explained by Cheung (2007, 2009) were conducted, with gender as a grouping variable.ResultsThere was a gender difference in the mood compensation pathway; avoidance coping partially mediated the link between psychological distress and compulsive buying severity in females only. On the other hand, the irrational cognitive pathway, in which irrational buying-related cognitions fully mediated the link between materialism and compulsive buying severity, was supported for both genders. There was no gender difference in the extent of mediation within the irrational cognitive pathway, and the mediation effect within the irrational cognitive pathway was larger than that within the mood compensation pathway for both genders.ConclusionsMood compensation processes in compulsive buying might be female specific, and secondary to irrational cognitions, which were gender invariant. Gender-dependent mechanisms and irrational cognitions should be emphasized in compulsive buying treatment.
