Compulsive Shopping (Link)

[J.D.]

Found an interesting article about compulsive shopping as it relates to males. Some of it can be very WIS-related...

<<Koran said men who compulsively shop tend to purchase different items than women. "Men tend to buy tech items, cameras, CDs, books, tools and gadgets," he said. "Women tend to buy clothes, jewelry, makeup, items for the homes, craft goods."

There's also "some suggestion in the research literature that men are more likely to be pathological collectors and become addicted to auctions," Dittmar said.>>

link is not working for me, I get to see some ad repeatedly.

Sorry, I don't know why it's doing that for you. I just tried the link and it worked fine.:-S Anyway, the idea of the article is summed up in the quote mostly. It also goes on to say that they are trying to get compulsive shopping included in the next edition of the DSM (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
