Abstract
In a consumption-driven society wherein material possessions are considered a reflection of the self (Belk 1988), it is not uncommon for consumers to become obsessed with buying things. At the extreme end of this obsession, compulsive buying behavior (CBB) has received increased attention over the past 25 years. CBB is defined as a form of excessive buying behavior that leads to negative consequences, such as personal distress, marital or family disruption, financial debt, and even legal problems (Black et al. 1998; Christenson et al. 1994; Goldsmith and McElroy 2000).
