The purpose of this article was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and compulsive shopping. The Meta-humor trait scale (TMMS-24), adapted by Fernández Berrocal, Extremera and Ramos, and the Compulsion Purchase survey by Valence, Fortier and Astous, were administered to 97 undergraduate Psychological Sciences students from a national college in Lima (32 men and 65 women), between 19 and 34 years old. A negative and significant correlation was obtained between both variables (r = -.301, p, El presente artículo tuvo como finalidad determinar la relación entre inteligencia emocional y compra compulsiva. Se administró la escala de rasgo Meta-humor (TMMS-24), adaptado por Fernández Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos y la encuesta de Compra por Compulsión de Valence, Fortier y Astous, a 97 alumnos de la carrera de ciencias Psicológicas de pre-grado de una facultad nacional de Lima (32 hombres y 65 mujeres), entre 19 a 34 años. Se obtuvo una correlación negativa y significativa entre ambas variables (r= -.301, p < .1). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente con mayor significancia según género para inteligencia emocional; sin embargo, se halló diferencias en cuanto a compra compulsiva, con una ligera tendencia hacia las mujeres, con una frecuencia de 29, respecto a los hombres de 8. Los resultados descriptivos para los índices respecto a la inteligencia emocional mostraron una mayor incidencia en la categoría de “adecuado” con un porcentaje de 74.2%, “excelente” 13.4% y “necesita mejorar” 12.4% respectivamente; para los niveles de compra compulsiva hay un mayor porcentaje para la categoría de “No compulsivo” con 61.9% y “compulsivo” con un 38.1%. Se llega a la conclusión que cuanto más sea los índices de percepción de las emociones, existiría un menor nivel de compra compulsiva. Palabras claves: Inteligencia emocional; compra compulsiva; estudiantes.

Objective: The aims were to explore if bulimic spectrum disorders (BSD) patients, who also present comorbid compulsive buying (CB), could represent a specific subtype considering its neuropsychological performance; to present a descriptive analysis of different clinical features; and to explore how these variables could influence treatment outcome. It was hypothesised that the comorbid group will present worse neuropsychological performance that will lead to a worse treatment outcome. Method: The study has a longitudinal design. Women (N = 75) diagnosed with BSD, BSD + CB and Healthy Controls (HC); completed an evaluation of: cognitive flexibility, decision making, eating disorder (ED) symptomatology, psychopathological state and personality traits. Results: BSD + CB was the group with the most severe clinical profile, worst treatment outcome and higher neuropsychological impairment, than other groups. Path-analysis evidenced that deficits in decision making were associated with bad treatment outcome, while deficits in flexibility with the presence of the comorbidity. Self-directedness and novelty seeking were associated with the neuropsychological performance and the comorbidity. Conclusion: BSD + CB exhibit a worse clinical and neuropsychological profile that seems to be related with the treatment outcome, which should be taken into account for the establishment of specific treatment approaches.

Motherhood has been proposed as an internal facilitating factor for the recovery of women with mental disorders. However, at the same time, there are significant barriers that may be interfering with the access and adherence to treatment for these women. The present longitudinal study aimed to deepen the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women with children and compulsive buying–shopping disorder (CBSD), and to explore the association between motherhood and response to treatment. The total sample included 77 women with a diagnosis of CBSD (n = 49 mothers) who received cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for 12 weeks. No association between psychopathology and motherhood was observed. The group of mothers reported an older age of onset of the CBSD, a lower amount of money spent per compulsive-buying episode, and a higher likelihood of family support for the CBSD. Moreover, this group showed lower risk of relapse. The findings support the theoretical proposal that considers motherhood as an internal facilitating factor for recovery and treatment adherence of mothers with addictions.

Background: Compulsive buying-shopping disorder (CBSD) is associated with high materialistic values endorsement and excessive purchasing of consumer goods. A subgroup of individuals with CBSD engage in socially unacceptable behaviors to continue shopping despite negative consequences. This investigation aimed at exploring possible links between ego-oriented shopping-related decisions, materialism, symptoms of CBSD and close-to-everyday moral decision making. Methods: In study 1, patients with CBSD were interviewed to develop a list of conflict situations, capturing typical shopping-related dilemmas. In study 2, the shopping-related dilemmas from study 1, standardized close-to-everyday moral dilemmas, the Material Values Scale and Pathological Buying Screener were administered to a web-based convenience sample (n = 274). Results: The main effects of a moderated hierarchical regression analysis revealed an association of more ego-oriented shopping-related decisions with both higher materialistic values endorsement and more CBSD symptoms, but not with everyday moral decision-making. However, a more egoistic everyday moral decision making style moderated the effect of CBSD symptoms on ego-oriented shopping related decisions. Conclusions: The findings indicate that a more egoistic everyday moral decision making style is not directly linked to domain-specific shopping-related decision making but strengthens the link between symptoms of CBSD and ego-oriented shopping-related decisions.

Objetivo do estudo - Analisar os processos hipermidiáticos, via dispositivos móveis, como fator potencializador no comportamento de compra compulsiva. Metodologia/abordagem – O estudo utilizou procedimentos de natureza qualitativa. Como método de coleta de dados, foi utilizada a observação participante e as entrevistas. Na análise e interpretação dos dados, empregou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo, seguindo as orientações de Bardin (2011). Relevância/originalidade – Explorar a lacuna teórica da hipermídia associada à compra compulsiva, além da percepção da vulnerabilidade do comprador (ou potencial) compulsivo diante do incontável número de anúncios e ofertas a que ele está exposto, principalmente com a popularização e ascensão dos dispositivos móveis como facilitadores desse processo. Principais resultados - Nos resultados encontrados, percebe-se que os processos hipermidiáticos, via dispositivos móveis, podem instigar o comportamento de compra compulsiva de algumas categorias de compradores, sendo elas: normais, recreacionais e intermediários. Diferentemente, os compulsivos clássicos e gastadores viciados se sentem menos compelidos a comprar no ambiente digital quando expostos a tais práticas. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas - Como contribuição, a pesquisa evidencia o indivíduo em uma escala gradativa e categórica no que concerne à compra, baseada nos estudos de Edwards (1993), discutindo uma dimensão menos explorada dos compradores sobre a exploração dos processos hipermidiáticos, com foco no consumo via dispositivos móveis., Objective of the study - To analyze how hypermedia processes, via mobile devices, may or may not enhance compulsive buying behavior. Methodology / approach - The study used qualitative procedures. As a method of data collection, participant observation and interviews were used. For data analysis, the content analysis technique was used, under the guidance of Bardin (2011). Relevance / originality - Explore the theoretical gap of the lack of studies relating to hypermedia to compulsive shopping and mobile devices, in addition to the perceived vulnerability of the (or potential) compulsive buyer in the face of the countless number of advertisements and offers to which he is exposed, mainly with the popularization and rise of mobile devices as facilitators of this process. Main results - In the results found, it is clear that hypermedia processes, via mobile devices, can instigate the compulsive buying behavior of some categories of buyers, which are: normal, recreational and intermediate. In contrast, classic compulsives and addicted spenders feel less compelled to buy in the digital environment when exposed to such practices. Theoretical / methodological contributions - As a contribution, the research highlights the individual on a gradual and categorical scale with regard to purchase, based on the studies of Edwards (1993), discussing a less explored dimension of buyers on the exploitation of hypermedia processes, with a focus consumption via mobile devices. In the methodological aspects, an attempt was made to bring a qualitative approach as a way of showing another type of analysis of the themes studied.

Resumo Objetivou-se coletar evidências das propriedades psicométricas da Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS) em estudantes universitários da Região Nordeste do Brasil. Para isso, foram realizados dois estudos. O Estudo 1 contou com 300 universitários oriundos do Nordeste brasileiro. Predominaram aqueles do sexo feminino (71 %), de universidade particular (67 %) e com média de idade de 23,5 anos (DP = 6,7). Os resultados indicaram uma estrutura empírica sustentável (teste de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] = 0,82), com indicadores psicométricos considerados adequados à mensuração da compra compulsiva. Além disso, uma estrutura unifatorial, constituída por seis itens, que explicaram 51,85 % da variância e alfa de Cronbach = 0,86. Já o Estudo 2 teve como finalidade testar a estrutura fatorial encontrada no Estudo 1. Participaram 279 universitários, a maioria de universidade pública (54,1 %), do sexo masculino (51,3 %) e com média de idade de 23,1 anos (DP = 4,74). Por meio da análise fatorial confirmatoria, foram verificados bons indicadores de ajuste: X2/gl = 2,90; GFI = 0,98; CFI = 0,98; TLI = 0,98; RMSEA = 0,08 (IC 90 % = 04-0,10). Conclui-se que a RCBS apresentou parâmetros psicométricos adequados e é uma medida útil para os futuros estudos sobre a compra compulsiva.

Abstract The objective of this study was to gather evidence of the psychometric properties of the Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS) in university students in the Northeast region of Brazil. For this purpose, two studies were conducted. The first study involved 300 university students from the Brazilian Northeast. They were predominantly female (71%), from private universities (67%) and with an average age of 23,5 years old (SD= 6,7). The results indicated a sustainable empirical structure (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] test = 0,82), with psychometric indicators considered adequate for measuring compulsive buying. The results also indicated an unifactorial structure, consisting of six items, which explained 51,85% of the variance, and Cronbach's Alpha of 0,86. The second study aimed at testing the factorial structure found in the first study. A total of 279 university students participated, mostly from public universities (54,1%), male (51,3%) and with an average age of 23,1 years old (EP= 4,74). Through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, good fit indicators were verified: X2/gl = 2,90; GFI = 0,98; CFI = 0,98; TLI=0,98; RMSEA = 0,08 (IC 90%=04-0,10). It is concluded that the RCBS presented adequate psychometric parameters and is a useful measure for future studies about compulsive buying.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Psicologia apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da Educação As alterações sociais e culturais, motivadas por um maior destaque da sociedade de consumo, têm-se traduzido em aumentos de patologias associadas à aquisição, como é o caso da compra compulsiva. Contudo, a evidência existente reportada na literatura para este fenómeno encontra-se dispersa. Este trabalho pretende mapear e identificar as intervenções psicológicas disponíveis, exclusivamente, para a compra compulsiva e descrever quais as suas características. Para tal, recorreu-se à metodologia scoping review proposta pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. De um total de 1.454 findings, e após a sua análise, identificaram-se seis findings que iam de encontro à questão de revisão. A maioria inclui uma abordagem grupal cognitivo-comportamental aplicada ao longo de 12 sessões com frequência semanal. Todos os findings apresentaram intervenções com populações exclusivamente do sexo feminino.Todavia, os referenciais teóricos e métodos utilizados no desenvolvimento das intervenções encontradas não foram reportados pelos seus autores. As estratégias encontradas, pelas suas características, não apresentam um potencial de replicação em diferentes tipos de organizações, pois focam-se no tratamento de distúrbios em fase avançada.Em conclusão, este mapeamento é um ponto de partida para o desenvolvimento de uma revisão sistemática de efetividade que pretenda informar profissionais da psicologia das organizações sobre as melhores evidências disponíveis relativamente ao potencial terapêutico de intervenções psicológicas no tratamento de pessoas com compra compulsiva.Adicionalmente, emerge deste trabalho a necessidade de elaborar estudos primários robustos focados, também, no desenvolvimento e implementação de intervenções do foro preventivo que possam ser aplicadas nos diversos contextos organizacionais. Sociocultural changes, motivated by a stronger manifestation of consumerism, have originated higher numbers of buying-related pathologies, such as compulsive buying.However, evidence of this phenomenon is scattered in the scientific literature. This paper aims to map and identify the psychological interventions that are available to treat compulsive buying, as well as to describe its main characteristics. In order to achieve this, the scoping review methodology (as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute) was used.After the analysis of 1.454 findings, a total of six findings have been found that match the subject of this revision. The majority of the interventions found are based on a cognitive-behavioural group approach, applied throughout the course of 12 weekly sessions. All the findings reported interventions that were implemented with female participants. However, none of the authors reported if a theoretical framework or method was followed during the development of the found interventions. Furthermore, the interventions found do not show the potential to be replicated across different types of organizations, since they were focused on the treatment of people at an advanced stage of the disorder.In conclusion, this review constitutes a starting point for the development of a systematic review of effectiveness aiming to inform organizational psychologists of the best available evidence on the potentially therapeutic effect of psychological interventions that wish to treat people with compulsive buying disorder. Furthermore, this review highlights the need to undertake more robust primary studies that focus, as well, on the development of preventive interventions that can be implement across different organizational settings.

The objective this dissertation is to test a mediation model, considering Human Values as a mediator of the relationship between Personality and Compulsive Buying (CB). For this, three studies were carried out: Study 1 aimed to adapt the Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS) for the Northeast region of Brazil. Three hundred (300) university students participated, the majority from a private university (67%), female (71%), with an average age of 23.5 years (SD = 6.7). They answered the RCBS and a sociodemographic questionnaire. An Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed and the results suggested the unidimensional of the instrument, explaining 51.85% of the total variance and a favorable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.86). The purpose of Study 2 was to test the structure found in Study 1. There was the participation of 279 university students, the majority from public university (54.1%), male (51.3%), with average age 23.1 years (SD = 4.74). The participants responded to the same instruments as in Study 1. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out and the results showed good quality indexes for RCBS adjustments, confirming its yours unifactorial structure. Study 3 intended to understand the relationship between Personality Traits, Valuation Subfunctions and Compulsive Buying (CB); to verify the predictive power of Personality Traits and Human Values in compulsive buying; and, finally, to test the mediation model. Three hundred and twenty-nine (329) university students participated, the majority from a private university (54.1%), male (51.7%), with an average age of 24.67 years (SD = 6.34), who responded to the same instruments of the Study 2, in addition to The Big Five Inventory and the Basic Values Questionnaire. The result of the correlations, followed by regressions and the mediation model, demonstrated the contribution of the Extroversion, Neuroticism traits and the Realization subfunction in explaining the Compulsive Buying Behavior. It is believed that this dissertation contributes to the Compulsive Buying literature and Social Psychology, especially in explaining Compulsive Buying Behavior from a psychological perspective, because most studies on this construct are constituted in the administration area, more specifically in marketing. Furthermore, by knowing the factors that can influence the purchase compulsive, can help both consumers and professionals who deal with this kind of issue. Nenhuma A presente dissertação tem como objetivo testar um modelo de mediação, considerando os Valores Humanos como mediadora da relação entre Personalidade e Compra Compulsiva (CC). Para tal, foram realizados três estudos: o Estudo 1 objetivou adaptar a Richmond Compulsive Buying Scale (RCBS) para região Nordeste do Brasil. Participaram 300 universitários, a maioria de universidade particular (67%), do sexo feminino (71%), com média de idade de 23,5 anos (DP = 6,7). Responderam a RCBS e a um questionário sociodemográfico. Realizou-se uma Análise Fatorial Exploratória e os resultados sugeriram a unidimensionalidade do instrumento, explicando 51,85% da variância total e uma consistência interna (α de Cronbach = 0,86) favorável. O Estudo 2 teve como finalidade testar a estrutura encontrada no Estudo 1. Contou-se com a participação de 279 universitários, a maioria de universidade pública (54,1%), do sexo masculino (51,3%), com média de idade de 23,1 anos (DP = 4,74). Os participantes responderam aos mesmos instrumentos do Estudo 1. Realizouse uma Análise Fatorial Confirmatória e os resultados apontaram bons índices de qualidade de ajustes da RCBS, confirmando sua estrutura unifatorial. O Estudo 3 pretendeu conhecer a relação entre os Traços de Personalidade, as Subfunções Valorativas e a Compra Compulsiva (CC); verificar o poder preditivo dos Traços de Personalidade e dos Valores Humanos nas CC; e, por fim, testar o modelo de mediação. Participaram 329 universitários, a maioria de universidade privada (54,1%), do sexo masculino (51,7%), com média de idade de 24,67 anos (DP = 6,34), que responderam aos mesmos instrumentos do Estudo 2, acrescidos do Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade e do Questionário dos Valores Básicos. O resultado das correlações, seguidas de regressões e modelo de mediação demonstraram a contribuição dos traços Extroversão, Neuroticismo e da subfunção Realização na explicação do Comportamento de Compra Compulsiva. Diante dos objetivos alcançados, confia-se que a presente dissertação contribui com a literatura da Compra Compulsiva e com a Psicologia Social, sobretudo na explicação do Comportamento de Compra Compulsiva a partir de uma perspectiva psicológica, já que a maioria dos estudos acerca desse construto é constituída na área de administração, mais especificamente em marketing. Além disso, ao conhecer os fatores que podem influenciar na Compra Compulsiva, é possível auxiliar tanto os consumidores quanto os profissionais que lidam com esse tipo de questão.

No Brasil, o número de famílias endividadas aumentou substancialmente nos últimos anos. Isso pode ser explicado, dentre outros fatores, pelo aumento do comportamento de compra compulsiva na sociedade atual. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar os antecedentes do comportamento compulsivo de compra de jovens universitários de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino localizada em Mariana (MG). Dentre os vários fatores que levam os indivíduos a comprarem compulsivamente, foram utilizados três como base para este estudo: busca por poder e prestígio, ansiedade e desconfiança. Como método de coleta de dados, realizou-se um levantamento de campo. Para análise de dados, optou-se pela modelagem de equações estruturais, por meio da aplicação de duas abordagens: análise fatorial confirmatória e análise de caminhos. A partir do referencial teórico construído e da análise dos resultados obtidos, foi possível confirmar a ansiedade e a desconfiança como antecedentes do comportamento de compra compulsivo entre os jovens universitários; o primeiro exercendo influência positiva, e o segundo, negativa. In Brazil, the number of indebted households has increased substantially in recent years, which may be explained, among other factors, by the increase in compulsive buying behavior in society today.In this context, the objective of this research was to analyze the antecedents of compulsive buying behavior of university students of an Education Federal Institution located in Mariana (MG).Among the various factors that lead individuals to buy compulsively, we use three as the basis for this study: search for power and prestige, anxiety and mistrust.As data collection method, we chose to conduct a field survey. For data analysis, we opted for Structural Equation Modeling, through the application of two approaches: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Path Analysis.From the theoretical framework and analysis of the results, it was possible to confirm the anxiety and distrust as antecedents of compulsive buying behavior among university students, the first exerting positive influence and the second negative.

Nos últimos anos tem vindo a falar-se cada vez mais de Eco Inovação e de Eco Turismo. É importante conseguir relacionar qualquer área de investigação ao Marketing devido a esta segunda ser uma área totalmente abrangente que deve estar presente em qualquer sector. Existem alguns estudos sobre a influência da compra impulsiva na compra compulsiva e se ambas estão relacionadas bem como outros estudos, uns mais antigos e outros mais recentes, das variáveis que são normalmente associadas à compra compulsiva, variáveis tais como as atitudes, a autoestima, as crenças ou o stress, e que podem ou não influenciar a compra compulsiva. O presente estudo tem como objetivo juntar as duas temáticas e perceber de que modo é que os consumidores de Eco Hotéis podem ser influenciados seja pelas atitudes, a autoestima, as crenças ou o stress de modo a que posteriormente influenciem a compra impulsiva que está, como vamos conseguir ver, diretamente relacionada à compra compulsiva.

The application of hypermedia features in advertising and the easy access to its content in the digital environment, mainly via mobile devices, has generated changes in communication as a whole and especially in the relations between advertisers and buyers, which can lead to compulsive shopping behavior. Consequently, this academic paper general objective is to analyze the hypermedia processes, via mobile devices, as a potentiating factor in compulsive buying behavior. Thus, this study used qualitative procedures, selecting 17 persons, divided into two groups, based on the categorization elaborated by Edwards (1993), Group 1 with classic compulsive and addicted spenders and Group 2 with normal, recreational and intermediate. Participant observation and interviews were used as data collection methods. In the analysis and interpretation of the data, it was used the technique of content analysis, following the guidelines by Bardin (2011). Through a theoretical categorization, the research sought to interpret the data of the categories elaborated: access, exposure, buying behavior and reflection, in order to access the relation between hypermedia, compulsiveness and shopping behavior. In the results obtained, it can be seen that the hypermedia processes, via mobile devices, can instigate compulsive shopping behavior in some categories of buyers, they are: normal, recreational and intermediate. Unlike compulsive addicts and classic addicts who feel less compelled to buy in the digital environment when exposed to such practices. As a contribution, the research seeks to evidence the individual on a gradual and categorical scale regarding the purchase, based on the theory of Edwards (1993). Reinforcing to the students and professionals of Marketing, a less explored dimension of buyers, in addition to discussing the remarketing procedure, a technique that brings a different look at the exploration of hypermedia processes, mainly focusing on consumption on mobile devices. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES A aplicação de recursos hipermidiáticos na publicidade e o fácil acesso ao seu conteúdo no ambiente digital, principalmente via dispositivos móveis, geraram mudanças na comunicação como um todo e, especialmente, nas relações entre anunciantes e compradores, podendo acarretar um comportamento de compra compulsiva. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar os processos hipermidiáticos, via dispositivos móveis, como fator potencializador no comportamento de compra compulsiva. Para tal, este estudo utilizou procedimentos de natureza qualitativa, selecionando 17 pessoas, divididas em dois grupos, tendo como base a categorização elaborada por Edwards (1993): o Grupo 1 foi composto por compradores compulsivos clássicos e gastadores viciados e o Grupo 2 por compradores normais, recreacionais e intermediários. Como método de coleta de dados, foram utilizadas a observação participante e as entrevistas. Na análise e interpretação dos dados, optou-se pela técnica da análise de conteúdo, seguindo as orientações de Bardin (2011). Por meio de uma categorização teórica, a pesquisa buscou interpretar os dados das categorias elaboradas: acesso, exposição, comportamento de compra e reflexão, de modo a acessar a relação existente entre a hipermídia, a compulsividade e o comportamento de compra. Nos resultados encontrados, percebe-se que os processos hipermidiáticos, via dispositivos móveis, podem instigar o comportamento de compra compulsiva de algumas categorias de compradores, sendo elas: normais, recreacionais e intermediários. Diferentemente, os compulsivos clássicos e gastadores viciados se sentem menos compelidos a comprar no ambiente digital quando expostos a tais práticas. Como contribuição, a pesquisa procura evidenciar o indivíduo em uma escala gradativa e categórica no que concerne à compra, baseada na teoria de Edwards (1993), reforçando aos estudiosos e profissionais de Marketing uma dimensão menos explorada dos compradores, além de discorrer mais sobre o procedimento do remarketing, uma técnica que traz um olhar diferenciado sobre a exploração dos processos hipermidiáticos, principalmente com foco no consumo em dispositivos móveis.

Background and aims: Increases in the prevalence of behavioral addictions worldwide have led to a growth in the etiological research of the specific contribution of risk/protective factors to these disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relative role of patients' sex, age of disorder onset and disorder duration on the clinical profile of behavioral addictions. Methods: Our sample included treatment-seeking patients diagnosed with gambling disorder (GD, n = 3,174), internet gambling disorder (IGD, n = 45), compulsive buying (CB, n = 113), and sex addiction (SA, n = 34). Results: The pattern of associations between the independent variables and the outcomes were strongly related to the behavioral addiction subtype: (a) for GD-men early onset of the disorder was related to GD severity, while for GD-women early onset was linked to novelty seeking; (b) for IGD-men, late onset correlated with addiction severity, worse psychopathological state, and high harm avoidance and self-transcendence levels; (c) for CB-women, early onset was related to higher reward-dependence scores and lower self-transcendence levels, and longer duration predicted higher cumulate debts; for CB-men, early onset and long duration correlated with high scores in harm-avoidance, self-directedness, self-transcendence, and cooperativeness; and (d) for SA-men, late onset and longer duration correlated with high disorder severity. Discussion and Conclusions: These findings are relevant for developing prevention and treatment programs specific to different behavioral addictions.

63 páginas y anexos El proyecto de grado parte de un estudio descriptivo exploratorio con inspiración en ideas sistémicas de comprador "compulsivo" por las prendas de vestir. En este sentido, se desarrolla una apuesta fundamentada en la comprensión del sujeto en contexto considerando las posibles relaciones - sociales, políticas y económicas - emergentes del período histórico y se retoma su incidencia en el accionar de cada sujeto. Se comprende la realidad como construcción social y se explora, desde luego, el impacto del período histórico sobre el comportamiento de las compras. The graduation project is based on an exploratory descriptive study inspired by systemic ideas of the "compulsive" buyer of clothes. The project is developed based on the understanding of the subject in context, considering all the possible relations - social, political and economic - emerging from the historical period and the incidence these have in the actions of each subject. In this sense, based on the concept of reality as a social construction, the thesis expolres the impact of the historical period on the behavior of purchases. Pregrado Psicologo(a)

ResumoO comportamento relacionado à compra compulsiva se caracteriza por um impulso incontrolável e irracional que tende a manifestar-se quando os indivíduos vivenciam sentimentos negativos. Apesar de ser intensamente pesquisada, ainda restam dúvidas sobre os fatores influenciadores da compra compulsiva, em especial em públicos potencialmente vulneráveis, como é o caso do público adolescente. Ao considerar tal lacuna, este artigo analisa o comportamento de compra compulsiva, assim, buscando compreender os condicionantes oriundos dos níveis de autoestima, materialismo, estresse e prazer em comprar especificamente de consumidores adolescentes. A partir da revisão de literatura, foram definidas quatro hipóteses, que foram testadas a partir de dados coletados junto a uma amostra de 153 sujeitos. No teste das hipóteses, foi utilizada a técnica de regressão da família gama de modelos lineares generalizados, operacionalizados no software R. Os resultados demonstraram que fatores como estresse, materialismo e prazer em comprar influenciam o comportamento de compra compulsiva dos adolescentes, tendo-se constatado ainda que a autoestima não teve influência na compulsividade dos respondentes da pesquisa. A pesquisa inova na operacionalização dos dados e avança no conhecimento acadêmico sobre compulsividade no consumo, gerando conhecimento que pode servir para formuladores de políticas públicas e organizações sociais orientadas ao interesse do consumidor. AbstractCompulsive buying behavior is characterized by an uncontrollable and irrational impulse that tends to manifest itself when individuals experience negative feelings. Despite being intensively researched, questions remain about what are drivers of compulsive shopping; especially in potentially vulnerable groups such as teenagers. Considering this gap, this study analyses compulsive buying behaviour, seeking to understand constraints from levels of self-esteem, materialism, stress and buying pleasure, specifically in adolescent consumers. Four hypotheses were raised from the literature review and tested with data collected from a sample of 153 respondents. To test the hypotheses, we performed a gamma family regression technique of generalized linear models using R software. Results show that factors such as stress, materialism and buying pleasure effectively influence adolescent compulsive buying behaviour, and it was found that self-esteem had no influence on the compulsiveness of survey respondents. This paper brings innovations on data operationalization and makes advancements in academic research about consumer compulsivity, generating knowledge for public policy-makers and social organizations oriented on consumer interests.

Background: The integration of units of differing natures which are found in different parts of some multilevel personality models is one of the most thought-provoking paths in contemporary research. In the fi eld of compulsive buying, little is known about the interrelationships between the comparative and stable units such as personality traits (basic tendencies or Level I units) and goals (a kind of middle-level unit) which are more related to motivational processes and intentions governing people’s behavior. Method: Self-reporting measures of compulsive buying, Big Five personality traits, and extrinsic life aspirations were administered to a general population sample consisting of 2,159 participants aged 15 to 65 (48.1% males; Mage= 35.4, SD= 13.24). Results: Our results confi rmed statistically signifi cant associations with compulsive buying for the traits as well as the extrinsic goals. Furthermore, an important relationship between both levels in personality – traits vs. extrinsic life aspirations – was found. Finally, extrinsic life aspirations (specially, image, popularity, and conformity) contribute to the potentiation of the prediction of compulsive buying beyond the Five Factor Model. Conclusions: Current fi ndings emphasize the advisability of considering both levels in personality, traits and middle-level units like life aspirations, not only in the prediction of compulsive buying, but also as potential targets for preventive and treatment programs Antecedentes: la integración de unidades de distinta naturaleza, incluidas en distintos niveles en algunos de los modelos multinivel de personalidad, constituye una de las más sugerentes trayectorias de la investigación contemporánea. En el campo de estudio de la compra compulsiva se conoce muy poco acerca de la interrelación entre unidades comparativas y estables como son los rasgos (tendencias básicas o unidades de Nivel I) y las metas (un tipo de unidad de nivel medio) más vinculadas con procesos motivacionales y con las intenciones que dirigen la conducta de las personas. Método: se administraron autoinformes de compra compulsiva, Cinco Grandes rasgos de la personalidad y aspiraciones vitales extrínsecas a una muestra de población general formada por 2.159 participantes entre 15 y 65 años de edad (48,1% hombres; Medad= 35,4, DT= 13,24). Resultados: los resultados confi rman que la compra compulsiva se asocia signifi cativamente tanto con los rasgos como con las metas extrínsecas. Además, se constata una importante relación entre ambos niveles de la personalidad. Por último, se confi rma que, más allá de la contribución del Modelo de los Cinco Grandes, las metas extrínsecas (en particular, imagen, popularidad y conformidad) potencian la explicación de la compra compulsiva. Conclusiones: se confi rma la idoneidad de considerar ambos niveles explicativos de la personalidad, rasgos y unidades de nivel-medio tales como las metas vitales, no solo en la predicción de la compra compulsiva sino también como dianas potenciales de los programas preventivos y de intervención SI

Aquesta tesi s’ha portat a terme per compendi d’articles, consta d’un article sobre Joc Patològic (JP) de tipus retrospectiu, dut a terme amb població clínica que compara homes i dones amb joc patològic; un monogràfic de revisió sobre el trastorn de Compra Compulsiva (CC) i el capítol sobre la Compra Compulsiva Online dins un llibre de divulgació sobre l’Addicció a les noves Tecnologies, així com d’un treball empíric que compara la dona amb JP o CC pendent d’enviament per publicació. Tots els treballs s’han realitzat partint de l’experiència obtinguda en la Unitat de Joc Patològic i Altres Addiccions no Tòxiques d’Althaia, Xarxa Assistencial Universitària de Manresa. Encara hi ha pocs estudis publicats sobre joc patològic en la dona, en comparació amb el nombre d’estudis realitzats utilitzant mostres masculines i la literatura sobre les compres compulsives en població clínica i específicament en la dona és molt limitada. Hem volgut aprofundir en les diferències de gènere respecte al joc patològic, agafant la dona com a focus i comparar també les seves característiques sociodemogràfiques, de conducta addictiva i clíniques amb la dona amb trastorn de compra compulsiva. La part d’investigació de la tesi, consta d’un estudi publicat sobre joc patològic que compara una mostra de jugadors i una de jugadores amb JP i un estudi pendent denviament per publicació que compara dones amb JP o amb CC. Els resultats del primer estudi indiquen que els homes i les dones amb JP presenten les mateixes característiques sociodemogràfiques i difereixen en algunes variables de la conducta de joc i en l’àmbit clínic també s’observa que presenten significativament més trastorns afectius, d’ansietat i de personalitat en comparació amb els homes. Els resultats d’aquest estudi estan en consonància amb la majoria de publicacions sobre el tema, així com la troballa que, en la mostra d’aquest estudi, es manté l’efecte telescopi. Aquest fenomen, ja observat prèviament en el JP, l’enolisme i l’addicció a opiacis, consisteix, en relació amb el joc, que les dones inicien la conducta de joc més tard que els homes i desenvolupen una progressió més ràpida del trastorn en comparació amb els homes. En el segon estudi d’investigació, es comparen dones amb CC o amb JP i es troba un perfil similar respecte a l’edat d’inici de la conducta problema, els anys que tarden a desenvolupar l’addicció i l’edat que demanen ajuda. També s’observa el mateix nivell de comorbiditat psiquiàtrica global entre les dones amb CC i les dones amb JP, tot i que les dones amb CC presenten més trastorns de l’estat d’ànim i d’ansietat i un major consum d’alcohol i les dones amb JP tenen més trastorns de la personalitat i presenten un major consum de tabac. Creiem que, possiblement, aquestes variables coincidents tenen més a veure amb el fet de ser dona que amb el tipus d’addicció que presenten però caldria confirmar-ho comparant dones i homes amb CC. Tant la prevalença de la dona amb JP com la dona amb CC que arriben a tractament especialitzat per tractar la seva addicció, és molt baixa en comparació amb la prevalença en població general. D’altra banda s’observa una elevada comorbiditat psiquiàtrica de trastorns de l’estat d’ànim, d’ansietat, de la personalitat o de trastorns per ús de substàncies. Sovint l’addicció conductual queda emmascarada darrere d’aquests trastorns i pot passar desapercebuda per part dels clínics si no es pregunta de forma específica. Considerem que aquesta tesi aporta més informació sobre la dona amb JP o CC amb la finalitat de poder afinar en la seva detecció, així com poder aplicar programes de tractament més centrats en les característiques diferencials de la dona., This thesis has been carried out by compendium of articles, consisting of an article on Pathological Gambling (PG) of retrospective type, made with clinical population comparing men and women with pathological gambling; a monographic review about compulsive buying disorder (CBD) and the chapter on compulsive buying online in a popular book about addiction to new technologies. There is also an empirical study that compares women with PG or CBD pending to send to be published. All the work has been done on the basis of the experience gained in the Pathological Gambling and Other Not Toxic Addictions Unit of Althaia, Xarxa Assistencial Universitària de Manresa. There are still few studies published on pathological gambling in women, as compared to the number of studies using male samples and literature on compulsive buying population in clinical and specifically in women is very limited. We wanted to delve into gender differences in terms of pathological gambling, taking the woman as a focus. In addition, we compare their socio-demographic characteristics of addictive behaviour and clinics with the woman with compulsive buying disorder. The research part of the thesis consists of a study published on pathological gambling comparing a sample of male players and female players with PG and a study pending to send to be published about PG comparing women with CBD; the results of the first study indicate that men and women with PG have the same socio-demographic features, differing in gambling behaviour. In a clinical level, it has also been observed that they present significantly more affective and personality disorders, as well as anxiety, compared to men. The results of this study are consistent with most publications on the subject, as well as the finding that in this study the telescope effect remains on hold. This phenomenon, in relation to the game, as observed previously in PG, the alcoholism and opiate addiction, consists on women initiating gambling later than men and so developing a faster progression of the disorder compared to men. In the second research study, women with CBD or PG are compared and a similar profile is found with regard to the age of onset of behavioural problem, to the years to develop addiction and to the age they ask for help. The same level of overall psychiatric comorbidity in women with CBD and PG is also noticed, although women with CBD present more mood disorder and anxiety and higher alcohol consumption, whether women with PG have more personality disorders and have a higher tobacco consumption. We believe that, these matching variables have possibly more to do with the fact of being a woman rather than the kind of addiction they have. However, it would be convenient to compare men and women with CBD in order to confirm it. Both the prevalence of women with PG as women with CBD who get specialized treatment, so they can address their addiction, is very low compared to the prevalence in the general population. On the other hand, there is a high comorbidity in psychiatric disorders of mood, anxiety, personality or substance use disorder. Behavioural addiction is often masked behind these disorders, risking to be overlooked by clinicians unless you ask specifically. We believe that this thesis provides information about woman with PG or CBD with the purpose of refining her detection, as well as more focused treatment programs to be implemented on the differential characteristics of women.
