Washington, February 14: A new study has revealed that individuals who live in affluent areas are more likely to spend compulsively and less likely to save, because of their materialistic desires.
The research by San Francisco State University, which links neighborhood socioeconomic status and materialism, has found that young people living in urban areas will have poor spending habits.
Associate Professor of Psychology Ryan Howell said that the reason behind the link between neighborhood socioeconomic status and materialism is "relative deprivation" or the feeling someone gets when they believe they are less well-off than those around them.
Howell said that if someone is bombarded with images or reminders of wealth,.

Washington, Aug 2: A new study suggests that poor credit management and a belief that new purchases will create a happier life fuel compulsive buying.
Approximately 10 percent of adults in Western countries are believed to have a compulsive spending disorder that leads them to lose control over their buying behavior, and the trend is on the rise.
These shopaholics are addicted to buying things, regardless of whether they want or need them.
In a new study, San Francisco State University researchers have identified specific behaviors that lead to such compulsive buying.
"Compulsive shoppers tend to be people who bury their head in the sand and ignore the credit card bill," Ryan Howell, associate professor.

Washington, Jan 27: Extraverts and people who are open to new experiences tend to spend more of their disposable income on experiences, such as concert tickets or a weekend away, rather than hitting the mall for material items.
These habitual "experiential shoppers" reap long-term benefits from their spending and report greater life satisfaction, according to the study led by San Francisco State University Assistant Professor of Psychology Ryan Howell.
Howell and colleagues have launched a website called 'Beyond the Purchase' where members of the public can take free surveys to find out what kind of shopper they are and how their spending choices affect them. Data collected through the site will be used by Howell and other.
