Oniomania, Working Women, Disorders and MenAbstract
Oniomania, often known as the "compulsive buying disorder," is characterised by excessive shopping thoughts and actions that cause discomfort or damage. The main aim and objectives of the study were to assess and compare the oniomania among working women and men, and find out the association between oniomania with selected demographic variables among working women and men. The research design selected for the study was non-experimental comparative descriptive research design. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to obtain sample of 120 (60-women and 60-men) working women and men who satisfied the inclusion criteria. The modified compulsive buying scale is used to assess oniomania, this is a 5-point scale and the total score is 45. After assessing the pre-test of oniomania, it is higher in working women compared to men. The mean of the working women and working men was (30.36) and (14.66) and the Standard Deviation of the working women and working men was (9.74) and (5.24). The Mean difference was (15.7). Working women mean was more than working men mean. This showed a significant difference between working women and working men on oniomania. The calculated chi square value was significant with education and monthly income, and other variables were insignificant. This study concluded that the prevalence rate of oniomania was higher in working women than men.
