Scope and Contents

Contents

This research used eye tracking to examine attentional processes that underlie compulsive buying. The results demonstrate an attentional bias: Compulsive (vs. noncompulsive) buyers were more likely to get distracted by products that were unrelated to their goal. The effect emerged only when the task was framed as a shopping situation.
