Role of motivational factors in the etiology of uncontrolled spending
Keywords:
motivational factors, uncontrolled spendingAbstract
Uncontrolled spending is associated by an average person with a disorder or addiction only to some extent. There is a tendency to rationalise this type of behaviours by explaining to oneself and to other people that they result from thriftlessness or from the lack of ability to save, but this perception changes when excessive spending leads to financial problems, family conflicts and even conflicts with law. It is not until this stage that the persons affected by this problem usually begin to look for specialist help. However, in Polish literature this problem lacks detailed studies. Therefore, this article is intended to outline one of the aspects typical of this disorder.
Thus the first paragraph will show how this phenomenon is viewed upon, it will depict its specific characteristics, its prevalence rate and will inform what kind of help is available. The second one will deal with various motives for pathological spending that are characteristic of uncontrolled spending (compulsive, impulsive, hedonistic buying).
