These similarities of psychological profiles with other addictive behaviors, and with common symptoms and clinical expressions, are supplementary arguments to consider conceptualizing compulsive buying as an addictive disorder.https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.00277/fullcompulsive buyingbehavioral addictionslatent class cluster analysismotivationimpulsivitynegative reinforcement |
