Shopping Mania or Addiction?
Summer in Central Europe – swimming, sunbathing and ... shopping. Summer sales have become so popular in Central Europe that some are beginning to ask: is shopping an addiction?
Psychologist Maria Bratska, from the Comenius University in Bratislava says sales can have positive as well as negative effects on people.
“For people who have low self-esteem and are liable to addictions, they can be dangerous, or trigger the shopping mania. For those who just buy things in sales because they cannot afford the full price, it is certainly good to shop in sales”.
Sales are predominantly a manipulation from the side of retailers. Although it might seem that you are tricking the retailer by getting a smaller price, it is actually the exact opposite.
“Manipulation is when someone uses the weakness of others for his or her own purpose. For some customers to realise that they are being manipulated is often very hard to do. Often they only realise it after leaving the shop. I think many retailers operate with this kind of calculation”.
Such manipulations and developing shopping habits can even lead to an addiction. And believe it or not, pathological shopping, compulsive spending, or shopping addiction, are terms used in psychology.
“Research has shown that 2-10% of the adult population, when shopping, have some compulsive tendencies. Often material things help to raise low self-confidence. Men are often caught up in unhealthy shopping for sports goods or electronic devices. Women tend more to buy things connected with their self-image, it can be cosmetics, clothes, jewellery...We have to say though that in terms of shopping addiction women greatly outnumber men.”
