“…As BSD progresses, buying/shopping becomes habitual (compulsive) and is used to relief from negative mood states. 12,59 Hypotheses on the Brain Processes Involved in BSD There is a considerable lack of human studies that investigate the extent to which neural circuits are involved in BSD. Of interest is a brain imaging study that was conducted in patients with BSD compared to healthy control participants.…”

The phenomenon of buying-shopping disorder (BSD) was described over 100 years ago. Definitions of BSD refer to extreme preoccupation with shopping and buying, to impulses to purchase that are experienced as irresistible, and to recurrent maladaptive buying excesses that lead to distress and impairments. Efforts to stop BSD episodes are unsuccessful, despite the awareness of repeated break-downs in self-regulation, experiences of post-purchase guilt and regret, comorbid psychiatric disorders, reduced quality of life, familial discord, work impairment, financial problems, and other negative consequences. A recent meta-analysis indicated an estimated point prevalence of BSD of 5%. In this narrative review, the authors offer a perspective to consider BSD as a mental health condition and to classify this disorder as a behavioral addiction, based on both research data and on long-standing clinical experience.

“…Whereas the use of self-report measures of impulsivity has some advantages (e.g., cost-effectiveness, ease of administration), it also has notable limitations including the limited possibility of mapping of underlying cognitive processes [ 6 ]. Yet, assessing the specific cognitive processes involved in BSD might be of particular importance for a better understanding of the disorder [ 12 ]. A valid option to assess such processes occurring within individuals are tasks measuring behavioral or state impulsivity [ 6 ].…”

“…Whereas Derbyshire et al reported a significantly worse performance of individuals with BSD, Vogt et al did not find significant differences between these groups. Nicolai, Darancó, and Moshagen [ 12 ] showed that BSD propensity was associated with impaired response inhibition as measured by the Go/No-Go task, in particular when the mood was negative. Furthermore, Nicolai and Moshagen [ 15 ] used two experimental tasks to assess the relationship between symptoms of BSD and delay discounting, the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards to larger, but delayed rewards.…”

Objective To investigate associations between buying-shopping disorder (BSD) propensity and the performance in the Stroop Matching Task. This task measures stimulus interference, one specific component of behavioral impulsivity, using neutral (i.e. not buying related) stimuli. Deficits thus mirror a general rather than a specific deficit to resist task-irrelevant stimuli. Method 222 participants completed the Stroop Matching Task, the Pathological Buying Screener, and various questionnaires assessing clinical background variables as well as trait-impulsivity. Results Correlation analyses showed that BSD propensity was associated with poorer performance in the Stroop Matching Task. Multiple regression analyses controlling for related disorders and trait-impulsivity indicated that BSD was the only significant predictor. Conclusion These findings indicate that BSD propensity is associated with deficits in the stimulus interference component of behavioral impulsivity, mirroring a general cognitive deficit. Since no other disorder significantly predicted the performance in the Stroop Matching Task, this deficit seems to be unique for BSD.

“…Deficits in inhibitory control have been demonstrated in patients with substance use disorders [45–47] and patients with gambling disorder [48]. Nicolai et al [29] investigated inhibitory control abilities in relation to BSD in a convenience sample. They found that those individuals who exhibited more symptoms of BSD showed impaired performance in the Go/no-go task.…”

An experimental examination of cognitive processes and response inhibition in patients seeking treatment for buying-shopping disorder

There is an ongoing debate about whether buying-shopping disorder (BSD) should be acknowledged as a behavioral addiction. The current study investigated if mechanisms that play a prominent role in disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors are relevant in BSD, particularly cue reactivity, craving, cognitive bias and reduced inhibitory control regarding addiction-relevant cues. The study included 39 treatment-seeking patients with BSD and 39 healthy control (HC) participants (29 women and 10 men in each group). Subjective responses toward buying/shopping-relevant visual cues were compared in patients vs. control participants. Experimental paradigms with neutral and semi-individualized buying/shopping-related pictures were administered to assess attentional bias, implicit associations and response inhibition with respect to different visual cues: Dot-probe paradigm (DPP), Implicit Association Task (IAT), Go/nogo-task (GNG). The severity of BSD, craving for buying/shopping, and symptoms of comorbid mental disorders (anxiety, depressive and hoarding disorders) were measured using standardized questionnaires. The BSD-group showed more general craving for buying/shopping, stronger subjective craving reactions towards buying/shopping-related visual cues, and more symptoms of anxiety, depression and hoarding disorder than control participants. Task performance in the DPP, IAT and GNG paradigm did not differ between the two groups. The present findings confirm previous research concerning the crucial role of craving in BSD. The assumption that attentional bias, implicit associations and deficient inhibitory control with respect to buying/shopping-related cues are relevant in BSD could not be proven. Future research should address methodological shortcomings and investigate the impact of acute psychosocial stress and present mood on craving responses, cognitive processing, and response inhibition in patients with BSD.
