“…Adults have been shown to use the internet to perform specific tasks, mostly job-related tasks (Griffiths 2010), shopping tasks (Müller, Joshi, and Thomas 2022), and socializing (e.g., Buonomo et al 2015). Particularly as a result of the recent pandemic, the use of the internet has assumed a central role in most adults’ lives, first and foremost becoming essential to work performance.…”

While much has been reported about the negative consequences of the pervasive presence of information and communications technologies in consumers’ everyday lives, the present research enriches the literature on problematic internet use by applying the cognitive-behavioral model in a consumer context, creating a bridge between marketing and psychology research, with novel insights and directions for future research. By means of a moderated mediation model tested on hundreds of consumers, the authors explore whether problematic internet use influences well-being through the mediation of prosocial consumer behavior and the moderation of online-social support. The results show that problematic internet use can indirectly affect individual well-being by affecting consumer choice. Managerial and theoretical implications are addressed.

“…Compulsive Online Shopping, also called Online Shopping Addiction, is a technological addiction [1,3] characterized by excessive and compulsive buying behaviors implemented through the Internet that the person cannot control and continues to perpetuate despite the negative consequences resulting from it on an economic, social, emotional level and in several important areas of the individual's life [4,5]. The phenomenon causes clinically significant distress and leads to impairments in various areas of functioning [6,7]; it has, in fact, been associated with legal and fiscal difficulties, alterations in the sleep-wake cycle, somatic symptoms [8], lower life satisfaction [9], and a general decline in quality of life [10]. Although scientific research has focused on the investigation of Compulsive Shopping in loco (see Black [11] for a review), the exploration of the psychological antecedents for its online declination is still scarce.…”

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has made the buying experience faster, potentially anonymous, and without limits of space and time. While this may produce benefits, for some individuals, online shopping can become an addiction. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the psychological factors that may be associated with Compulsive Online Shopping, with a specific focus on the role of Attachment Styles and Family Functioning patterns as risk or protective factors. The study involved a sample of 306 participants (Mage = 31.86 years, SD = 11.925) who filled out an online survey consisting of the Compulsive Online Shopping Scale, Relationship Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-IV, as well as a demographic questionnaire. The results showed two significant parallel mediation models. In the first one, Secure Attachment was negatively and significantly related to Compulsive Online Shopping, with the mediation of Cohesion and Enmeshed Family Functioning. In the second one, Fearful Attachment was positively and significantly related to Compulsive Online Shopping, with the mediation of Cohesion and Enmeshed Family Functioning. Important implications for preventive activity and tailored interventions may emerge from these data.

The progress of information technology and the popularity of the Internet have led to the rapid development of the network economy, and as a new shopping method, online shopping is gradually accepted and respected by consumers. With the development and maturity of online shopping market, the concept of consumers has also been changing, gradually changing from “panning for cheap” and “panning for convenience” to “panning for quality,” paying more attention to the quality of goods and services. B2C is more trusted by consumers than C2C in terms of reputation and quality assurance, so it has gradually become a hot spot in online shopping. With the popularization of online shopping, the development of e-commerce is increasingly characterized by the platform, and it is more and more difficult for shopping websites to attract online consumers with rich product information and functions alone. Using college students with online shopping experience in T-mall as the research subjects, descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used to study the influence of interactivity on customers’ behavioral intention under the platform-based model from a perception perspective.
