11.Psychologists(心里学家)at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the compulsive(强迫的) shopping 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,known as oniomania(购物癖),was first discovered in 1915.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 10replies.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 10one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments,is loosely based on teaching stress management.
"You often have to start to get people to recognize their emotions correctly.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.
