Coping Versus Enhancement Motives of Compulsive Buying and Subtyping of Compulsive Buyers
We assessed the heterogeneity of compulsive buyers (CB) based on affective motives of buying: coping and enhancement motives. Latent profile analysis identified three clusters of CB: high coping CB, moderate coping/enhancement CB, and low coping/enhancement buyers. High coping CB cluster had significantly more serious CB problems than the other clusters.
