The present study examines the phenomenon of compensative and compulsive buying in a developing consumer society such as Poland. Firstly, the obtained empirical data make it possible to estimate the prevalence of compensative and compulsive buying among Poles married or in stable relationships. Secondly, the conducted analysis shows to what extent the prevalence is differentiated by individual (self-esteem), cultural (materialism), and sociodemographic conditions (gender, age). The findings come from a survey conducted in 2017 based on a nationwide statistically representative sample of 1,121 Poles married or in a stable relationship aged 18 years old and over. Drawing on this survey based on the German Compulsive Buying Indicator (GCBI), the prevalence of compulsive buying is observed at about 3%. Like in other countries, it turns out that gender, age, self-esteem, and materialism differentiate the extent of susceptibility to compensative and compulsive buying in Poland, too. The direction of the correlations is coherent with the findings in other countries.

在波兰强制购买。对已婚或处于稳定关系中的人的实证研究

本研究考察了波兰等发展中消费社会中的补偿性和强迫性购买现象。首先，获得的经验数据可以估计已婚或处于稳定关系的波兰人补偿性和强迫性购买的流行程度。其次，所进行的分析显示了个人（自尊）、文化（物质主义）和社会人口条件（性别、年龄）对流行程度的区分程度。调查结果来自 2017 年进行的一项调查，该调查基于全国 1,121 名已婚或 18 岁及以上处于稳定关系的波兰人的统计代表性样本。根据这项基于德国强迫性购买指标 (GCBI) 的调查，强迫性购买的流行率约为 3%。和其他国家一样，事实证明性别，年龄、自尊和物质主义也区分了波兰对补偿性和强迫性购买的敏感性程度。相关性的方向与其他国家的发现一致。
