Hoarding Disorder (HD) was classified as a separate disorder in DSM-5 (APA, 2013). However, only recently has research on hoarding begun in earnest, and as of yet, very little research exists on the motivation to acquire and save the excessive volume of possessions seen in patients with this disorder. This investigation examined the frequency of four motives for acquiring and saving possessions that are often reported anecdotally by people with HD (information, emotional reasons, avoid waste, and aesthetic reasons). Comparisons in a sample of 443 participants indicated that those with HD reported higher frequencies of each of these four motives for acquiring and saving compared to OCD participants and community controls. The intention to avoid waste emerged as the most prominent motive in people with HD. Understanding waste avoidance may be key to better understanding and treating HD.
囤积障碍（HD）在《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM-5，美国精神病学协会，2013年）中被列为一种独立的障碍。然而，直到最近囤积研究才真正开始，截至目前，对于患有这种障碍的患者获取并保存大量物品的动机，相关研究还非常少。本调查研究了囤积障碍患者常提到的获取并保存物品的四种动机（信息、情感原因、避免浪费和审美原因）出现的频率。对443名参与者的样本进行比较后发现，与强迫症患者和社区对照组相比，囤积障碍患者报告的这四种获取并保存物品的动机出现频率更高。避免浪费的意图在囤积障碍患者中是最突出的动机。理解避免浪费可能是更好地理解和治疗囤积障碍的关键。
