“…20 Treatment-seeking samples with BSD consistently comprise more female than male patients. 7,[27][28][29] Studies investigating gender differences in the prevalence of BSD in adolescents and young adults have had mixed results, with some studies reporting a higher propensity toward BSD in female participants 17,20,23 and others not finding a gender bias. 18,22,24 While there is evidence for a higher prevalence of BSD in younger adults, pointing to the need of introducing and implementing prevention programs for BSD at an early age, 17 less pronounced gender differences in younger samples may reflect less traditional gender role identities and a stronger emphasis on buying and shopping among youth.…”

“…Comorbidity rates are high, with depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, hoarding disorder, bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder, gambling disorder, and substance use disorders being the most common comorbid conditions. 27,[31][32][33][34] The most prevalent personality disorders in individuals with BSD are avoidant (15-37%), obsessive-compulsive (22-27%), and borderline personality disorder (15-20%). 35 Although research on temporal order, symptom covariations, and family transmission of possible shared neurobiological or genetic risk factors for BSD and comorbid disorders is limited, there are indicators for increased familial incidence, especially with respect to other mental disorders.…”

“…Noteworthy, more recent studies investigating clinical variables related to the BSD phenotype compared to OCDs or other behavioral addictions revealed close similarities between BSD and gambling disorder, but considerably less similarity between BSD and OCDs. 27,34 While treatments for BSD are emerging, their overall efficacy is not yet as robust as those for OCDs, nor are there standard approaches or clinical guidelines for treatment. Cognitive-behavioral treatments have been found to be effective, although larger scale quality studies need to be conducted.…”

“…5 Recent considerations have moved away from the conceptualization of BSD as an ICD due to intriguing research findings indicating shared key characteristics of BSD with substance-use disorders and gambling disorder, suggesting that BSD might be viewed most appropriately as a behavioral addiction. 27,[48][49][50] Factors that appear to link BSD and substance-use disorders/ gambling disorder are maladaptive decision-making processes, increased salience of disorder-specific stimuli, cue-induced craving, and reward seeking. [51][52][53][54][55][56] Models referring to the sensitization of reward-related neural structures and the accompanying cognitive interferences, which are well known as being related to substance use disorders and gambling disorder, can also be applied to BSD.…”

Buying-shopping disorder—is there enough evidence to support its inclusion in ICD-11?

The phenomenon of buying-shopping disorder (BSD) was described over 100 years ago. Definitions of BSD refer to extreme preoccupation with shopping and buying, to impulses to purchase that are experienced as irresistible, and to recurrent maladaptive buying excesses that lead to distress and impairments. Efforts to stop BSD episodes are unsuccessful, despite the awareness of repeated break-downs in self-regulation, experiences of post-purchase guilt and regret, comorbid psychiatric disorders, reduced quality of life, familial discord, work impairment, financial problems, and other negative consequences. A recent meta-analysis indicated an estimated point prevalence of BSD of 5%. In this narrative review, the authors offer a perspective to consider BSD as a mental health condition and to classify this disorder as a behavioral addiction, based on both research data and on long-standing clinical experience.

“…In klinischen Studien konnte gezeigt werden, dass pathologisches Kaufen phänoty-pisch mehr Ähnlichkeiten mit anderen Verhaltenssüchten (z.B. mit der Glücksspielstörung) als mit Zwangsstörungen aufweist [Lawrence et al, 2014;Mestre-Bach et al, 2017].…”

Obwohl pathologisches Kaufen ein seit mehr als 100 Jahren bekanntes Phänomen darstellt, ist das Störungsbild noch nicht als eigenständige Erkrankung anerkannt. Laut einer Meta-Analyse zeigen 5% der erwachsenen Allgemeinbevölkerung eine Neigung zu pathologischem Kaufen. Das Störungsbild ist geprägt von einem unwiderstehlichen Kaufdrang, einer immensen gedanklichen Beschäftigung mit Kaufen sowie unangemessenen Kaufepisoden, die der Emotionsregulation dienen. Die erworbenen Konsumgüter werden in der Regel kaum oder gar nicht benutzt. Betroffene und Angehörige erleben einen immensen Leidensdruck, der aus sozialen, beruflichen, psychischen und rechtlichen Folgeproblemen resultiert. Psychische Komorbiditäten sind typischerweise depressive und Angststörungen, pathologisches Horten, Binge-Eating-Störung, Bulimia nervosa, Glücksspielstörung und Substanzkonsumstörungen. Experimentelle Studien legen nahe, pathologisches Kaufen als eine «Störung in Zusammenhang mit süchtigem Verhalten» (Verhaltenssucht) zu klassifizieren.

This study investigates the influence of buyer-seller personality similarities on compulsive buying behaviour in a dyadic setting. To provide insights into the gaps in previous research, we collected both buyer and corresponding seller data, and considered sellers' personalities. Specifically, using difference score analyses and variance-based structural equation modelling, we analysed 1038 buyer-seller dyads in service encounters. Compared with the effects of individual buyers' personalities on compulsive buying, the combined personality results showed that buyer-seller agreeableness similarities increase the compulsive buying behaviour of agreeable buyers. On the other hand, buyer-seller similarities in openness and neuroticism reduce compulsive buying. A further analysis showed that buyer-seller interactions mediate the effect of their extraversion and openness similarities on compulsive buying, while buyers' shopping enjoyment mediates the effect of their extraversion and neuroticism similarities on compulsive buying. Overall, compulsive buyers have interpersonally different buying behaviours when their personalities match (differ) with their corresponding sellers'. Thus, marketers can match agreeable buyers with similar sellers to promote sales, while dissimilar sellers should be complemented with openminded and neurotic buyers, in particular, to reduce losses.
