Validierung der deutschen Version der Compulsive Acquisition Scale

Published Online:July 27, 2010https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000030

Abstract

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Nach Frost und Kollegen (2009) können pathologisches Kaufen und die zwanghafte Mitnahme kostenloser Dinge zu dem Konstrukt zwanghafter Erwerb zusammengefasst und mit der Compulsive Acquisition Scale (CAS; Frost et al., 2002) erhoben werden. Fragestellung: Überprüfung der psychometrischen Gütekriterien der deutschen CAS. Methode: Die CAS sowie weitere konstruktnahe und konstruktferne Fragebögen wurden von einer bevölkerungsbasierten Stichprobe sowie mehreren Vergleichsstichproben beantwortet. Ergebnisse: Die 2-Faktorenstruktur der Originalversion konnte nicht repliziert werden. Die CAS-Summenskala erwies sich als reliabel und valide und differenzierte gut das Ausmaß zwanghaften Erwerbs zwischen kaufsüchtigen Patienten, Mitgliedern von Messie-Selbsthilfegruppen, anderen Patientengruppen und Kontrollpersonen. Schlussfolgerung: Die deutsche CAS-Summenskala ermöglicht mit Fragen zum pathologischen Kaufen und zur exzessiven zwanghaften Mitnahme kostenloser Dinge die Erhebung von zwanghaftem Erwerb.


Evaluation of the German version of the Compulsive Acquisition Scale

Abstract.Background: The Compulsive Acquisition Scale (CAS; Frost et al., 2002) is a self-rating scale that measures the extent to which individuals acquire and feel compelled to acquire possessions. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the German version of the CAS. Method: The study investigated the psychometric properties of the CAS in a population-based sample, different clinical samples, and controls. Results: Confirmatory analysis of the originally suggested 2-factor structure did not adequately represent the data in the population-based sample. The CAS total score showed adequate internal consistency and validity and differentiated in the extent of compulsive acquisition between patients with compulsive buying, individuals with compulsive hoarding, clinical groups, and controls. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that the total score of the German version of the CAS is a measure to assess compulsive acquisition symptoms.
