The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Buying to Blunt Negative Feelings: Materialistic Escape from the Self (2016, background): “They have an avoidance rather than approach orientation (Claes et al., 2010), which means they place greater emphasis on avoiding bad outcomes than pursuing good ones.”
Antecedents and consequences of chronic impulsive buying: Can impulsive buying be understood as dysfunctional self‐regulation? (2018, background): “Typical estimates of the incidence of compulsive buying in the population range from 6% to 7% (Claes et al., 2010; Voth et al., 2014).”
Shopping enjoyment to the extreme: Hedonic shopping motivations and compulsive buying in developed and emerging markets (2017, background): “Compulsive buyers use shopping to (temporarily) experience positive emotions, escape from negative feelings (Rindfleisch et al., 1997; Roberts et al., 2006), and relieve themselves of a depressive state (Claes et al., 2010; Sneath, Lacey, & Kennett-Hensel, 2009).”
The influence of trait affect and the five-factor personality model on impulse buying (2015, background): “Such impulsive buying behavior is argued (d’Astous, 1990; Verplanken & Sato, 2011) and empirically found (Sun, Wu & Youn, 2004) to predict compulsive buying, a self-regulation disorder affecting around 5 percent of individuals (Claes et al, 2010).”
