The current study finds the relation between hoarding behavior, compulsive buying and self-control among adulthood. A total sample of adult was (n=250) including male and female was collected Lahore from city of Pakistan. In the present study, data was collected through convenient sampling techniques. Correlational survey research was used for the present study. Data was collected with the self-report measures including Compulsive Buying Scale (CBS) by Valence, D'Astous (1990). Hoarding rating scale (HRS) was developed by Tolin, D.F and Frost (2010) and Self-control scale (SCS) created by Robson (1989) Correlational analysis shows significant relationships among all study variables. According to linear regression analysis, hoarding behavior and compulsive buying esteem is a positive predictor of self-control. This study highlights the importance of considering self-control in the context of hoarding and compulsive buying behaviors. By understanding these complex relationships, mental health professionals can develop more effective interventions to support individuals struggling with these issues.
