“…In fact, those addicted are over five times more likely to have a borderline personality disorder than non-compulsive shoppers. This is also in line with previous findings reporting strong relationship between CBD and BPD symptoms (Sansone et al, 2011;Sansone and Wiederman, 2012). This finding provides further support for the inclusion of CBD as an example of the impulsivity symptom of BPD in DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).…”

Compulsive buying is a relatively new psychopathological concept and very few data are currently available regarding the prevalence and validity of compulsive buying disorder. In this cross-sectional study, we establish the prevalence of compulsive buying disorder in shopping mall visitors and explore the construct validity of the concept using the revised version of the Edwards Compulsive Buying Scale in 1,441 shopping mall visitors looking at shopping habits, current substance use (smoking, alcohol and illicit drug) and various psychological characteristics. Overall,3) of our sample was classified as having a compulsive buying disorder. Compulsive buyers were younger, less educated and more likely to be female than non-compulsive buyers. They were also more likely to have used licit and illicit substances. Compulsive buyers also reported higher levels of impulsivity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, lower levels of well-being and self-esteem and more psychological distress. Finally, compulsive buyers were five times more likely to meet criteria for borderline personality disorder than non-compulsive buyers. Compulsive buying is a frequent disorder in shopping mall visitors and is associated with important and robust indicators of psychopathology thus supporting the validity of the construct. Dear Professor Buchsbaum, E ö t v ö s L or á n d U n i ve r s i t y * I ns t i t ut e of P sy c h ol o g y D E P A R T M E N T O F C L I N I C A L P S Y C H O L O G Y Aniko MarazWe would like the attached manuscript titled 'Prevalence and construct validity of compulsive buying disorder in shopping mall visitors' to be considered for publication in Psychiatry Research. Although there is considerable research regarding in the field of compulsive buying behavior, the prevalence of the validity of the disorder are relatively unknown. In this cross-sectional study, 8.7% of our sample (n=1441) had compulsive buying disorder and we found that compulsive buying is associated with important and robust indicators of psychopathology thus supporting the validity of the construct.The authors (Aniko Maraz, Wim van den Brink, Zsolt Demetrovics) declare that they do not have any interests that could constitute a real, potential or apparent conflict of interest with respect to his/her involvement in the publication.

Due to the problems of measurement and the lack of nationally representative data, the extent of compulsive buying behaviour (CBB) is relatively unknown. Methods: The validity of three different instruments was tested: Edwards Compulsive Buying Scale (ECBS; Edwards, 1993), Questionnaire About Buying Behavior (QABB; Lejoyeux & Adès, 1994) and RichmondCompulsive Buying Scale (RCBS; Ridgway, et. al., 2008) using two independent samples.One was nationally representative of the Hungarian population (N=2710) while the other comprised shopping mall customers (N=1447). Results: A new, four-factor solution for the ECBS was developed (ECBS-R), and confirmed the other two measures. Additionally, cut-off scores were defined for all measures. Results showed that the prevalence of CBB is 1.85%(with QABB) in the general population but significantly higher in shopping mall customers (8.7% with ECBS-R, 13.3% with QABB and 2.5% with RCBS-R). Conclusions: Due to the diversity of content, each measure identifies a somewhat different CBB group.

RESULTSOverall, 10% of offenders had no mental illness. Substance use disorders, mood disorders and psychotic disorders were the most common diagnoses. Psychotic disorders were significantly less common in repeat offenders. Repeat offenders also tended to have a history of conduct problems in childhood. Noncompliance with psychiatric treatment was positively associated with repeat offence, while psychotic disorders were negatively associated. CONCLUSIONThe pattern of psychiatric morbidity among theft offenders in Singapore has changed over the last ten years. Kleptomania remains rare. Significant differences between first-time and repeat offenders have implications on the treatment, follow-up and rehabilitation of theft offenders in Singapore.
