Hypersentimentality to possessions has been proposed to play an important role in the development and maintenance of compulsive hoarding. The current study prospectively examined the formation of attachment to a newly acquired object in an OCD sample (n=62) to determine whether specific hoarding symptoms moderated the development of attachment to an object over time. Participants rated their level of attachment to a keychain immediately upon receipt (time 1) and one week later (time 2). We hypothesized that individuals with a tendency to hoard and strong beliefs about the value of possessions would exhibit greater attachment to the object over time. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that a person's initial attachment to the object was the best predictor of attachment one week later. Although emotional attachment increased similarly for all participants independent of their hoarding symptoms, specific hoarding-related beliefs and behaviors uniquely predicted initial attachment to the keychain.
对物品过度多愁善感被认为在强迫性囤积行为的发展和维持中起重要作用。本研究前瞻性地考察了强迫症样本（n = 62）中对新获得物品的依恋形成情况，以确定特定的囤积症状是否会随着时间推移调节对物品的依恋发展。参与者在收到钥匙链后立即（时间1）和一周后（时间2）对他们对钥匙链的依恋程度进行评分。我们假设，有囤积倾向且对物品价值有强烈信念的个体随着时间推移会对该物品表现出更大的依恋。分层多元回归分析显示，一个人对物品的初始依恋是一周后依恋的最佳预测指标。尽管所有参与者的情感依恋增加情况相似，与他们的囤积症状无关，但特定的囤积相关信念和行为独特地预测了对钥匙链的初始依恋。
