This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of the Bergen Shopping Addiction Scale (BSAS), a key tool for assessing shopping addiction. The findings highlight the BSAS’s strong reliability and reveal an optimal raw cut-off score for identifying individuals at risk. Additionally, gender differences in item functioning emphasize the need for gender-sensitive approaches in shopping addiction assessment and treatment. These insights have significant implications for clinicians and researchers, facilitating more accurate and personalized interventions for shopping addiction.
