Sumario:This study aims to identify the relations among personality traits, impulsive buying behavior and compulsive buying disorder in comparison to the structural model proposed by Sun, Wu and Youn (2002). A quantitative survey was conducted through a sample of 424 participants, randomly divided into two groups of 212 participants. Two confirmatory factorial analyzes were performed on different samples and the structural model was tested using SPSS and AMOS software. The results indicate that neuroticism and extroversion are positively related to IC, as well as a positive association between impulsive buying behavior and compulsive buying disorder. The paper presents a methodological contribution on the operationalization of the scales and brings a critique to the subspecific nature of the relationship between impulsive and compulsive buying.
