see, that 90% of women are potential shopaholics, among them 68 % of housewives. The smaller part is made by men – only 10 %.

a half make middle managers – 51%, on the second place are housewives – 23%, the third place is occupied by pupils and students – 20%, and on last place are top – menegers – only 6%.

have such results:
30 – 50 years – 48%,
10 – 20 years – 30%,
50 – 60 years – 13% and 20 – 30 years – 9%.

This diagram divides potential shopaholics to an age sign and we have such results:
30 – 50 years – 48%,
10 – 20 years – 30%,
50 – 60 years – 13% and 20 – 30 years – 9%.

can be:
women, especially housewives
some percent of men
teenagers

into the high-risk groups, among them 15 women and 15 men.
We asked people only one question:
is shopaholism a disease or a whim?

when to stop. Shopping is healthy but it’s not my dream to grow poor because of it.... The Golden middle should be everywhere. It is a disease, I think.
Anna, 23: (disease)
When the girl says, I’m a shopaholic, she declares, she is a silly and crazy woman. For some reason shopaholism became a fashionable phenomenon in our time.
Natalia, 58: (disease)
To admit, sometimes I think that I'm sick with shopaholism. Campaigns on shops delivers me such pleasure, that I am afraid of myself. I don’t know what must I do with myself. Probably, it is necessary to stop at an early stage...
Maxim, 20: (disease)
All I know that shopaholism is an illness. I consider that it is necessary to speak about it more in mass-media. People recklessly spend money and don’t realize that they are sick.

Alexander, 16: (whim)
If you wish to be modern, you should constantly buy new things. Otherwise you will descend from a way of the modern person. You will become unfashionable and uninteresting for everybody.
Olga, 27: (whim)
I don’t consider that shopaholism is illness. Everyone can buy things as much as he wants. Also there is no need to hang up on the person of a sick.

all of them and have received such results:
82% of respondents consider shopaholism to be a disease
11% of respondents consider shopaholism to be a whim
7% of respondents were not sure in their answers.

likely it is a disease, than a whim, because: - the literature on psychology which we have analyzed considers shopaholism to be a disease and psychology science has special technical terms – oniomania, compulsive buying disorder - shopaholism has such signs of illness as symptoms, causes and consequences - the most part of respondents of sociological experiment answered that shopaholism is a disease.
