  Compulsive(强迫的)shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the“shop-till-you-drop”habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress.

  “It becomes a problem when you are out of control.”psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said.“When you are feeling bad and blue,what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.”Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.

  Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as oniomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.

  An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr Wilson,is“clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs.“As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,”Mr Wilson said.

  Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit.“Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,”he said.“You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,”he said.

  The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.

  “You 0ften have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what's making you feel that way,”Mr Wilson said.

  Children's fighting over the same toy is a problem that all parents or childcare providers face.If one child wants to play the Play Station, all the other children are suddenly interested in doing the same thing quickly abandoning whatever has previously held their attention.This is human nature playing itself out in children.People often think that what someone else has or is doing is more desirable than what they have or are doing.They will abandon their own wish to participate in the wish of another so that they do not lose something better.Children start this at a young age.

  Parents and childcare workers often see the children fighting for rights to one toy rather than being satisfied with playing with something else.The best way to help children overcome this human habit is to teach them to consider others more important than themselves.They need to respect other people.So if Johnny wants to use the Play Station unbroken, then the other children should not fight to take it from him.Johnny should also care about the other children and render the controller to them in a fair amount of time.

  If a child is always grabbing everything for himself, then there is a problem that needs working out.If a child is always dissatisfied with what he has and wants what the other child has, then that needs to be talked about.Parents can use these fights over toys to help their children understand how to treat others right.This does not always mean punishment.Teach the child the way that he should go and he will not depart from it.Instruct him wisely.Have the child apologize to the other child if he has infringed upon(侵犯)his rights.Teach love, forgiveness, self-control, and kindness.Practice this in your life and the child will learn that this is the better way and live accordingly.Next time all the children are fighting for the same toy, use it as an object lesson to teach them these things.

(1)
