“…Consistent with previous literature, CB was positively correlated with childhood maltreatment, and emotional abuse had the strongest relationship with CB (Sansone et al, 2013). Other correlational results are consistent with prior literature: lower NMRE were associated with higher alexithymia (Lyvers et al, 2017; Spence & Courbasson, 2012) and greater childhood maltreatment (Tresno & Mearns, 2016).…”

“…Although CB is increasingly prevalent, it often is neglected or minimized in clinical settings. Sixty percent of individuals with CB have a comorbid diagnosis (Muller et al, 2015), and many of these individuals also experienced childhood maltreatment, especially emotional abuse (Sansone et al, 2013). In the current study, NMRE, alexithymia, and childhood abuse independently predicted CB.…”

“…In regressions, both NMRE and alexithymia independently predicted CB. And, emotional abuse was negatively correlated with NMRE more strongly than other types of abuse (Sansone et al, 2013).…”

Objective Two studies investigated childhood maltreatment, alexithymia—the inability to identify one's mood—and negative mood regulation expectancies (NMRE)—confidence that one can alleviate one's negative moods—as predictors of compulsive buying (CB). Method Participants were recruited from internet CB forums and undergraduate psychology classes. Online, they completed questionnaires and a behavioral task that assessed impulsive spending. Results In Study 1 (N = 646), analyses indicated that NMRE, alexithymia, and childhood maltreatment were significant independent predictors of CB. For Study 2, a subset of participants from the Study 1 pool (N = 295) who met the criterion for clinical levels of CB were selected, based on their self‐report. Analyses revealed that NMRE buffered the effect of maltreatment: among participants with high NMRE—higher levels of maltreatment were associated with minimal increases in CB and impulsive spending behavior. Conclusion Being confident that one can control one's unpleasant moods was a protective factor from the maladaptive consequences of childhood maltreatment. Increasing NMRE early in psychotherapy for CB may result in clients' using more adaptive coping strategies.

“…It has been stated that childhood negative experiences, especially violence and emotional abuse, are associated with compulsive buying behavior (Sansone et al, 2013). It was observed that the severity of childhood trauma was significantly higher in individuals with a diagnosis of gambling disorder compared to healthy individuals (Horak et al, 2020).…”

This study was conducted to examine whether there is a relationship between exercise addiction and childhood traumas. Sociodemographic Information Form, Exercise Addiction Inventory, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28), Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) prepared by the researcher were applied to the participants in the study. For the study, 3747 male and female volunteers completed the Exercise Addiction Inventory. Among these volunteers, the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test was administered to 1756 people, the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence to 1076 people, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire to 935 people. In the analysis, it was seen that there was no relationship between exercise addiction and childhood traumas. In addition, when exercise addiction and different sociodemographic characteristics were examined together, the addiction scores of the participants who were male, young, had a lower income level, were single, had a lower education level, and used alcohol and reported harmful alcohol use were found to be significantly higher. Addiction status did not differ significantly according to BMI, smoking and smoking addiction, place of residence, history of psychiatric treatment.

“…Like PVG, PS has also been associated with dysphoria, interpersonal conflict, and violent behaviors, such as weapon-carrying and physical fighting [ 17 , 20 ]. Additionally, PS and aggression have both been associated with borderline personality disorder and a history of childhood trauma, further supporting relationships between the behaviors [ 21 – 23 ].…”

An exploratory study of problematic shopping and problematic video gaming in adolescents

et al. 2022

Problematic video gaming (PVG) and problematic shopping (PS) are addictive behaviors prevalent in adolescents, characterized by positive and negative reinforcement, and associated with psychosocial impairment. This study examined how PS and PVG relate in adolescents. It also examined how PS interacts with PVG in relation to health/functioning measures. Survey data from 3,657 Connecticut high-school students were evaluated. Chi-square analyses and logistic regression models were used to assess relationships between PS and measures of PVG. Interaction analyses measured effects of PS on relationships between PVG and health/functioning measures. Relative to adolescents without PS, those with PS had 8.79-fold higher odds of exhibiting PVG and were more likely to endorse gaming to relieve anxiety and impairment due to gaming. Interaction analyses revealed that in adolescents with PS, the relationships between PVG and aggressive behaviors, including fighting, serious fighting leading to physical injury, and weapon-carrying, were stronger than in adolescents without PS. PS strongly relates to PVG, and among youth reporting PS, there are stronger associations between PVG and aggressive behaviors. Prevention efforts for adolescents should consider the co-occurrence of PS and PVG. PS and PVG may be linked by negative reinforcement and propensities for aggressive and addictive behaviors, suggesting that further research should explore possible interventions targeting stress management and maladaptive coping.
