We gathered information about sociodemographic characteristics, alcohol use, caffeine intake, and online shopping behaviors. Psychopathological assessments included Korean version of dissociative experience scale (DES-K), Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI-K), the modified Stress Response Inventory (SRI-MF), the Barratt Impulsive Scale-11-Revised (BIS-K). We used multiple logistic regression analysis with the Richmond compulsive buying scale (RCBS-K) as the dependent variable.; Results: The prevalence of shoppers with internet-based problem shopping was 12.5%. The amount of time spent on online shopping was correlated with PIS severity (OR = 1.008, p &lt; 0.01). The risk of PIS was related to an increased tendency toward dissociation (OR = 1.044, p &lt; 0.001) and impulsivity (OR = 1.046, p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: PIS participants with dissociation showed higher levels of perceived stress, gambling problems, and impulsivity than did PIS participants without dissociation. This study suggests that dissociation was associated with a higher burden of PIS as it was connected to poor mental health problems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17093235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]],"date-time":"2020-05-07T03:10:38Z","timestamp":1588821038000},"page":"3235","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["The Association of Problematic Internet Shopping with Dissociation among South Korean Internet Users"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Young-Mi","family":"Ko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Research Institute, National Center for Mental Health, Seoul 04933, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sungwon","family":"Roh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Hanyang University, College of Medicine, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5419-8321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tae Kyung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health, ChunCheon National Hospital, ChunCheon City 24409, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Statistical Research Department (2020, February 16).
