Abstract

Coping and enhancement motives are theoretically implicated in the risks associated with compulsive buying, yet there is a paucity of empirical support. The current study aimed to (1) develop and validate a psychometrically sound measure of coping and enhancement buying motives and (2) assess the unique association of coping/enhancement buying motives with Yi and Baumgartner’s (2023) four dimensions of compulsive buying. Two samples collected by online panel companies were used for measurement development (N = 859) and for validity and hypothesis testing (N = 1157). A seven-item Affective Buying Motives Questionnaire (ABMQ) consisting of coping and enhancement motives was supported. Path analyses identified coping motives as a stronger positive predictor of the financial and interpersonal problems dimensions of compulsive buying. However, both motives were equivalent positive predictors of the excessive buying and phenomenology of pathological buying dimensions of compulsive buying. Our findings point to the unique compulsive buying risks associated with the coping and enhancement motives of buying.

应对型和增强型购买动机与病态购买的四个不同维度之间的关系

从理论上讲，应对型和增强型购买动机与强迫性购买的相关风险有关联，但缺乏实证支持。本研究旨在：(1) 开发并验证一个心理计量学上可靠的应对型和增强型购买动机的测量方法；(2) 评估应对型/增强型购买动机与 Yi 和 Baumgartner（2023 年）提出的强迫性购买的四个维度之间的独特关联。测量开发（N = 859）以及有效性和假设检验（N = 1157）使用了在线小组公司收集的两个样本。由七个项目组成的情感购买动机问卷（ABMQ）包含了应对动机和增强动机，并得到了支持。路径分析发现，应对动机对强迫性购买的财务和人际问题方面有更强的正向预测作用。然而，这两种动机对强迫性购买中的过度购买和病态购买现象具有同等的正向预测作用。我们的研究结果表明，强迫性购买的独特风险与购买的应对动机和增强动机有关。
