“…In college students from Singapore (n = 1110), those participants who were at-risk for social-network-use disorder were also at risk for online CBSD [44]. The relationship between problematic social-network use and the risk for online CBSD in a Chinese convenience sample (n = 1109) was mediated by financial social comparison and materialism [42]. Buying-shopping and communicating on the internet are popular behaviors often connected via in-app shopping advertisements on social networks.…”

“…The triple-A-engine for online pornography-use disorder (i.e., accessibility, affordability, anonymity) [40] could also be used to describe internetspecific aspects that accelerate the development and maintenance of online CBSD. Of interest are also the connections of online CBSD with social-network-use disorder [41][42][43][44]. In college students from Singapore (n = 1110), those participants who were at-risk for social-network-use disorder were also at risk for online CBSD [44].…”

“…A bidirectional relationship between the two (potential) disorders is possible. Communicating about products via social networks may generate excitement and may also trigger cue reactivity and craving as well as social comparisons with other customers and accentuate the tendency towards materialism and CBSD, and vice versa [16,42]. In addition to these rather environmental aspects, there might be common vulnerability factors for social-network-use disorder and online CBSD such as social anxiety, narcissistic traits, and identity confusion [31,43,[45][46][47].…”

Problematic Online Buying-Shopping: Is it Time to Considering the Concept of an Online Subtype of Compulsive Buying-Shopping Disorder or a Specific Internet-Use Disorder?

Purpose of Review Problematic online buying-shopping became a recent research topic, and the question arises as to whether it would be useful to differentiate between a “predominantly online” and a “predominantly offline” compulsive buying-shopping disorder (CBSD) subtype by analogy with gaming disorder and gambling disorder in the ICD-11. This narrative review aims at reflecting the discussions on overlaps of problematic online buying-shopping with both offline CBSD and specific internet-use disorders. Recent Findings Preliminary data suggest that problematic online buying-shopping shares many commonalities with both offline CBSD and potential specific internet-use disorders (e.g., gaming disorder, pornography-use disorder, or social-network–use disorder). However, there is a lack of research addressing the etiology, underlying affective and cognitive mechanisms, psychosocial correlates, comorbidity profiles, and treatment of problematic online buying-shopping. Summary The question of whether online CBSD can develop independently from offline CBSD or only as medial transformation of offline CBSD still remains unanswered due to limited research on problematic online buying-shopping. Both perspectives are conceivable: that online CBSD represents a standalone specific internet-use disorder or the online subtype of CBSD. Future studies should examine which approach has clinical utility and indicates specific treatment options and better outcomes.

“…The findings of Bekman (2020) also support our results. The literature hosts studies reporting that excessive use (implying a probable addiction) of social media triggers compulsive online shopping behaviors among people (Pahlevan et al, 2021;Sultan, 2021). Ultimately, it would not be wrong to assert that such a relationship may arise due to user information on social network sites, allowing companies to continuously flash various product and service advertisements suitable for users' characteristics.…”

The impact of communication on individuals and the masses is undeniable. Now, every domain of daily life is influenced by the power of communication thanks to developing technology. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and compulsive online shopping and investigate the mediator role of social media addiction on this relationship. The sample consisted of randomly selected 205 sports volunteers, 77 females (37.6%) and 128 males (62.4%), taking part in the 16th NKolay Istanbul Half Marathon on April 4, 2021. We collected the data using the “Fear of Missing Out” scale (FoMOS) consisting of 10 items within a subscale, the “Social Media Addiction” scale (SMAS) composed of 20 items within two subscales, and the “Compulsive Online Shopping” scale (COSS) consisting of 28 items within five subscales. We sought answers for seven hypotheses in the study employing a correlational design. The results confirmed our three hypotheses, partially confirmed two hypotheses, rejected the other two hypotheses. We determined that the SMAS were positively correlated with the FoMOS and the COSS. In addition, the FoMOS was positively correlated with the COSS. On the other hand, we concluded that social media addiction partially mediated the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and compulsive online shopping among our participants. While virtual communication had a mediating effect on this relationship, it was not the case for virtual tolerance.

“…As for the convergent validity, while the AVE of all factors is <0.5, however, it must be noted that the AVE values were close to the suggested threshold value. While the AVE is known to be a strict indicator for convergent validity, one must note that for psychological constructs, as long as the AVE is less than its CR, and the CR is more than 0.7, the results can be used to confirm convergent validity (51)(52)(53). The study's findings reveal that the AVE value for each construct is less than its CR, and the CR for all factors is >0.7, indicating that the analysis meets the convergent validity requirements.…”

Background: Studies have revealed an increase in discrimination, neglect, and abuse among the older adult population during this period. This study assessed the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the ageism survey instrument tested on a sample of the Iranian older adult population during coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. An important move in counteracting ageism is to classify the ageism scale comprehensively by employing adequate psychometrics.Methods: The Persian version of the ageism scale was developed using a two-step procedure. The first step involved translating and revising the original scale to develop a Persian version of the ageism scale. The second step involved assessing the psychometric features of the newly adapted scale using construct validity through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and thereafter assessing the reliability through the average inter-item correlation (AIC), Cronbach's alpha. The sample consisted of 400 older adults (age 65 and older), who were recruited through online data collection, with samples for EFA and CFA randomly selected from the total samples.Results: The Persian version of the ageism survey has three factors: age-related deprivation with five items, dignity with three items, and employment with three items; all of which explained 57.02% of the total variance. The outcome of the EFA was verified by the CFA, with internal consistency reliability being excellent (Cronbach's alpha was 0.725, 0.698, and 0.708 for the three factors).Conclusion: This study specifically offers a restructured three factors Persian version of the ageism survey for Iranian older adults with acceptable construct validity and reliability.
