Compulsive Buying Behavior (CBB), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Post-Covid 19, Pearson Co-efficient

This study is based on the initiative of a pilot program to initially analyze the co-relation between Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Compulsive Buying Behavior (CBB). The statistical measure used is two-tailed Bivariate Correlation (Pearson Co-efficient). The findings suggested the two scales are positively co-related at 0.01 level. The r value was 0.411 with the sample size of 50. For Generalized Anxiety Disorder, The Mean score is 7.56 and the Standard deviation is 5.147 respectively. For Compulsive Buying Scale, The Mean score is 33.39 and Standard deviation is 10.619 respectively. A descriptive analysis was used to identify which gender is more susceptible to GAD and CBB hence the findings suggested in the GAD-7 scale for male the Mean is 6.89 and Standard Deviation is 5.238. For Female, in GAD-7 scale the Mean is 8.41 and Standard Deviation is 5.021 respectively. For the Compulsive Buying Scale, the Mean for male participants is 33.39 and the Standard Deviation is 10.619 respectively whereas for female participants the Mean and Standard Deviation of Female was 31.05 and 8.984 respectively. On gender-wise comparative analysis of the mean scores of both GAD and CBB the findings suggest female participants are more prone to GAD and its risk factors whereas male participants are more prone to exhibit CBB. The study therefore prepares a prefatory for further researches to be investigated based on GAD and CBB especially in the domain of Indian Population with the association to cultural relevance across urban and rural Indian states.
