Implication

Observational analysis shows impulsivity impairs cognitive function in compulsive buyers, indicating potential intervention needs.

Key Points

  • Compulsive buyers showed significantly higher impulsivity and compulsivity compared to non-compulsive buyers, indicating cognitive challenges.
  • Participants' scores on the compulsive buying scale correlated positively with state anxiety, suggesting additional emotional dimensions.
  • Impairments in response inhibition were evident in the Go/No-Go task, as compulsive buyers exhibited higher error rates.
  • During real-life simulation, compulsive buyers added items to their cart more quickly and spent significantly more money.
