“…Regaining access to a commercial marketplace after a period of limited access may promote compulsive buying tendencies (Valence et al, 1988), especially given that compulsive buyers may be susceptible to promotional ploys (Kukar‐Kinney et al, 2016). Recognizing these vulnerabilities has important policy implications, given that marketing efforts frequently target low‐income families and aggressive, if not outright predatory, practices prevail both on and around military installations (Harris, 2011; Martin, 2020).…”

PurposeConsumers may cope with stressful events and their resulting negative mental health outcomes through maladaptive behaviors. One such behavior is compulsive buying, an uncontrolled urge to purchase things. This can have devastating financial consequences, especially among vulnerable members of the population. Emotion regulation research suggests that differences in individuals' ability to manage and cope with stressors may attenuate their negative consequences. Thus, this research investigates whether expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal, two types of emotion regulation, moderate whether and how stressors related to a military deployment and its mental health outcomes relate to compulsive consumption.ApproachThis prospective naturalistic multiphase study followed a US Army unit during a combat deployment cycle and analyzed survey data collected before, during, and after its members' deployment to Afghanistan.FindingsThe findings identify the moderating role of emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between mental health symptoms and compulsive buying. Servicemembers with high mental health symptoms were less likely to engage in compulsive buying if they had high expressive suppression. Although the emotion regulatory profile of high suppression and low reappraisal is usually considered the least beneficial, it emerges as a buffer against engaging in compulsive buying behavior.OriginalityThis field study explored the rarely researched topic of compulsive buying within a military population that routinely faces stressful situations. The research also contributes to the growing body of evidence of the role of strategies for emotion regulation in the context of potentially maladaptive behaviors in the marketplace.

“…Derived from the Latin 'integritas' meaning 'wholeness, completeness, unbroken', the Oxford English Dictionary provides three different meanings for integrity: she calls, 'the three C's of integrity: Compliance, Coherence and Consistency.' (Harris, 2008) She argues that all three are necessary for integrity. I will argue that while they may be necessary they are not sufficient and that some behaviours, such as those of an obsessive person, might meet the criteria but not be regarded as having integrity.…”

Integrity: is it still relevant to modern healthcare?

Personal integrity is often seen as a core value for delivering ethical healthcare. This paper will explore what this might mean and particularly what place integrity has in a multi-professional healthcare system. Two opposing arguments can be made: the first is that the multi-professional nature of modern healthcare means that personal integrity is at best a futile luxury and at worst, an obstacle to delivering affordable high-quality care to large populations. The converse is that without personal integrity healthcare loses its humanity and becomes mere biological and social engineering. Part of the analysis rests on whether integrity is primarily a personally held moral framework or whether it is a social concept. Chester Calhoun's analysis, in which she identifies the integrated-self, personal identity, and (morally) clean-hands as three pictures of integrity, is used as the basis for suggesting that integrity is a rich and complex social virtue through which the individual is able to demonstrate their relationship with the values and mores of the communities of which they are members. In addition, I will argue that integrity is not a value itself, but is a framework through which one or more sets of those values that characterize the communities of which the person is a part, can be expressed. Because a person may belong to many communities - nation, gender, religion, family, profession, trade, sport, etc. - each individual has their own unique meta-set of values that informs their personal sense of integrity. However, in specific circumstances, conflicts may arise between this personal global sense and the set of values associated with one community.
