Abstract :Adapting the theories of life course and escape, this article examines how family disruptions during childhood could lead to undesirable consequences for compulsive buying tendency in the following years. Unlike previous studies that have only focused on the negative impact of family disruption on children, in this study, the positive effects have also been accounted for. The ongoing debate about which factor causes compulsive buying tendency more is discussed in light of the findings gathered using the data obtained from 660 participants via an online survey. The findings indicate that the lack of emotional resources provided by the family plays a more important role in compulsive buying tendency than financial resources. The findings also show the importance of memories (past negative time perspective) over real-life experiences (disruptive family events).
