Abstract

En la sociedad de consumo, los deseos se transforman en necesidades y esto incide en la emergencia de compra compulsiva y sus efectos negativos a nivel personal y social. Por ello se requiere un esfuerzo de análisis y síntesis sobre el conocimiento científico existente, que mejore nuestra comprensión del área. El objetivo es analizar el desarrollo de la producción científica –artículos empíricos individuales y revisiones- sobre la compra compulsiva, hasta el año 2020 en cualquier idioma. Mediante un análisis bibliométrico con criterios PRISMA, se localizaron 971 publicaciones en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y PsycINFO. Los resultados señalan un aumento de la productividad desde 2005; al inglés como idioma prevalente; EE. UU. es el país predominante; la palabra clave más frecuente es compulsive buying. Se identifican tres equipos de investigación principales, con un análisis de contenido de sus publicaciones. Se reportan los artículos más citados. Se concluye que existe poca precisión investigativa, pese al incremento de productividad anual.
