Objective: Online shopping has been described by the scientific literature both for its benefits and the potential risks when excessive usage is involved. Indeed, compulsive online shopping is commonly conceptualized as a potential behavioural addiction that substantially impacts the lives of individuals afflicted by it. In light of this, the present research aimed at exploring the association between possible risk and protective factors for compulsive online shopping, by specifically exploring the role of adult attachment, affect dysregulation, and dissociation.
Method: 285 participants (75% females, 25% males; = 31.57, = 11.379) were involved in the research and completed an online survey. The collected data was analysed implementing a path analysis model.
Results: Results showed significant total effects in the relationship between secure/fearful attachment patterns and compulsive online shopping. Such associations were significantly mediated by the sequential effect of affect dysregulation and dissociation.
Conclusions: The present study provides useful information to guide tailored interventions concerning both preventive activity and clinical practice.

Fraudulent reviews posted by spammers on the online shopping websites mislead consumers' purchasing decisions. To curb fraudulent reviews, many methods have been proposed for detecting spammers. However, the existing spammer detection methods operate in a "black box" mode and lack a reasonable interpretation for their detection results.

Considerable research has shown that people make biased decisions in "optimal stopping problems", where options are encountered sequentially, and there is no opportunity to recall rejected options or to know upcoming options in advance (e.g. when flat hunting or choosing a spouse).
