N2 - Compulsive buying disorder (CBD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are highly comorbid. Accordingly,the theories concerning the etiological factors of CBD and BPD overlap. The present study aimed to test amultivariate etiological model of CBD in the presence of BPD. Our sample comprised shopping mall customers(N = 1409, 63% female, mean age: 31.2 SD: 12.1). CBD was measured using the Edwards Compulsive BuyingScale Revised Version, and BPDwas measured using theMcLean Screening Instrument for BPD. Impulsivity, globalself-esteem, contingent self-esteem, and psychiatric distress were also assessed. Overall, 8.5% (n = 120) and7.7% (n = 109) of participants scored above the cut-off value on the CBD and BPD measures respectively. Intotal, 2.2% (n = 31) had both BDP and CBD 26% of those with CBD also had BPD, corresponding to a risk ratioof 5.4. Path analysis revealed that contingent self-esteem (ß = 0.27 p < 0.001) and impulsivity (ß = 0.27p < 0.001) exerted the strongest mediating effects, followed by psychiatric distress (ß=0.15p b 0.15) and globalself-esteem (ß=0.12 p b 0.001) after controlling for the effect of BPD. Distress had higher predictive value formen and contingent self-esteem had higher predictive value for women. The data suggest that impulsivity, contingentself-esteem, and distress (to a lesser extent) account for the high comorbidity between BPD and CBD andthat etiological risk factors differ between men and women.
