“…observed reduced coherence in the posterior brain regions of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) users 27 . In terms of behavioral addictions, one study found an association between neural connectivity and compulsive buying behavior using EEG coherence analyses 28 , which suggests that dysfunctional cortical connectivity may also be associated with addictive behaviors.…”

The present study compared neural connectivity and the level of phasic synchronization between neural populations in patients with Internet gaming disorder (IGD), patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), and healthy controls (HCs) using resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) coherence analyses. For this study, 92 adult males were categorized into three groups: IGD (n = 30), AUD (n = 30), and HC (n = 32). The IGD group exhibited increased intrahemispheric gamma (30–40 Hz) coherence compared to the AUD and HC groups regardless of psychological features (e.g., depression, anxiety, and impulsivity) and right fronto-central gamma coherence positively predicted the scores of the Internet addiction test in all groups. In contrast, the AUD group showed marginal tendency of increased intrahemispheric theta (4–8 Hz) coherence relative to the HC group and this was dependent on the psychological features. The present findings indicate that patients with IGD and AUD exhibit different neurophysiological patterns of brain connectivity and that an increase in the fast phasic synchrony of gamma coherence might be a core neurophysiological feature of IGD.

The aims of this study were to examine the associations between compulsive buying and quality of life and to estimate the monetary cost of compulsive buying for a cohort of men and women at mean age 43. Participants came from a community-based random sample of residents in two New York counties (N=548). The participants were followed from adolescence to early midlife. The mean age of participants at the most recent interview was 43.0 (SD=2.8). Fifty five percent of the participants were females. Over 90% of the participants were white. Linear regression analyses showed that compulsive buying was significantly associated with quality of life, despite controlling for relevant demographic and psychosocial factors. The estimated monetary cost of compulsive buying for this cohort was significant. The fact that the monetary cost of CB is not trivial suggests that individuals are both consciously and unconsciously plagued by their CB. The findings are important for interventionists and clinicians for cost-effective intervention and treatment programs.

“…Adapting the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS; Raylu & Oei, 2004) that has been validated in Chinese populations, we sought to explore whether compulsive buying will also be related to the following irrational buying-related cognitions: (a) the illusory belief that one can control and enhance buying outcomes via personal knowledge and skills (e.g., believing that good luck in other areas of life means that one is more likely to purchase quality items at heavy discounts); (b) the erroneous belief in one’s ability to predict successful buying outcomes based on irrelevant cues and subjective probabilities (e.g., good weather as a sign that one can make “value-for-money” purchases); (c) misinterpretations of missed buying opportunities as signals for continued buying (e.g., “missing out on a good buy” interpreted as the greater likelihood of later purchasing the same item at a better price); (d) the perceived inability to stop buying (which functions as a self-fulfilling prophecy that perpetuates problematic buying); and (e) expectations about the psychological benefits of buying (e.g., excitement, relaxation). These irrational cognitions have been previously investigated in similar but less diverse forms (Kyrios, Frost, & Steketee, 2004; McQueen, Moulding, & Kyrios, 2014; for neurophysiological evidence, see Lawrence, Ciorciari, & Kyrios, 2014a). Validating their relevance to compulsive buying will therefore broaden the cognitive picture of the condition.…”

Background and aimsThe addictive nature of compulsive buying implies that mood disturbances, stress, and cognitive biases that underlie compulsive buying might operate in ways similar in both genders. In the current study, we aimed to test hypothetical pathways of mood compensation and irrational cognitions, which may explain compulsive buying tendencies. We also examined potential gender differences in these pathways.MethodsTwo-hundred and thirty-two male (age: M = 20.30, SD = 1.74) and 373 female Chinese college students (age: M = 19.97, SD = 1.74) in Hong Kong and Macau completed measures assessing compulsive buying, psychological distress, avoidance coping, materialism, and buying-related cognitions. Mediation analyses via a structural equation modeling approach explained by Cheung (2007, 2009) were conducted, with gender as a grouping variable.ResultsThere was a gender difference in the mood compensation pathway; avoidance coping partially mediated the link between psychological distress and compulsive buying severity in females only. On the other hand, the irrational cognitive pathway, in which irrational buying-related cognitions fully mediated the link between materialism and compulsive buying severity, was supported for both genders. There was no gender difference in the extent of mediation within the irrational cognitive pathway, and the mediation effect within the irrational cognitive pathway was larger than that within the mood compensation pathway for both genders.ConclusionsMood compensation processes in compulsive buying might be female specific, and secondary to irrational cognitions, which were gender invariant. Gender-dependent mechanisms and irrational cognitions should be emphasized in compulsive buying treatment.
