People can be addicted to(沉溺于 ) different things — . alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are pulsive(强迫的 ):they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are pulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This pulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For pulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式 ), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, pulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting.

Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason. It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, panies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence , their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy( 疗法 )” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money. 32. According to the psychologists, a pulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money ___.
