Our consumer-driven culture has negative impacts for individuals who are vulnerable to clinical hoarding and compulsive shopping. Because of this, there is an ever-present need to have standardized tools to assess why we acquire and save things we might not need. In this article, we present the development of the Acquiring Motives Questionnaire (AMQ) and Saving Motives Questionnaire (SMQ), which were written based on a thorough literature review and consultation with 22 experts in the field. After piloting with two large nonclinical samples, we administered the measures to another large nonclinical sample (N = 535; Mage = 24.4, 74.2% female, 54.6% White) and then a community sample of individuals with hoarding disorder and/or compulsive buying-shopping disorder and controls without any mental health diagnoses (N = 159; Mage = 42.54, 85.5% female, 59.7% White). Confirmatory factor analyses supported a 14-factor model for the AMQ and a 14-factor model for the SMQ. All subscales demonstrated good internal consistency (ω = 0.81-0.96), 2-week test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.67-0.83), and convergent, divergent, and criterion validity. The measures also distinguished between controls and individuals with hoarding and/or compulsive buying diagnoses. Findings highlight that acquiring and saving behaviors are both motivated by the pursuit of positive emotions and the avoidance of negative emotions, which is consistent with our theoretical understanding of these clinical issues. Based on our findings, we make suggestions for psychological interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

获取和保存动机问卷的开发和验证：用于临床和非临床人群。


我们以消费者为导向的文化对那些容易受到临床囤积和强迫性购物影响的个人产生了负面影响。因此，始终需要标准化工具来评估我们为何获取和保存可能不需要的东西。在本文中，我们介绍了获得动机调查问卷 (AMQ) 和储蓄动机调查问卷 (SMQ) 的开发，这些调查问卷是在彻底的文献综述和咨询该领域 22 位专家的基础上编写的。在对两个大型非临床样本进行试点后，我们对另一个大型非临床样本（N = 535；法师 = 24.4，74.2% 女性，54.6% 白人）实施了这些措施，然后对患有囤积障碍和/或强迫性购买的个体进行了社区样本-购物障碍和没有任何心理健康诊断的对照（N = 159；Mage = 42.54，85.5% 女性，59.7% 白人）。验证性因素分析支持 AMQ 的 14 因素模型和 SMQ 的 14 因素模型。所有分量表均表现出良好的内部一致性（ω = 0.81-0.96）、2 周重测信度（组内相关系数 = 0.67-0.83）以及收敛效度、发散效度和标准效度。这些措施还区分了对照者和患有囤积症和/或强迫性购买诊断的个人。研究结果强调，获取和储蓄行为都是由追求积极情绪和避免消极情绪驱动的，这与我们对这些临床问题的理论理解是一致的。根据我们的发现，我们提出心理干预建议。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
