The goal of the current investigation was to expand on previous work on reasons for saving/discarding in the context of hoarding by examining individuals' perceived locus of control for household clutter.
Participants were asked to list their perceived reasons for clutter and assign each reason a percentage rating reflecting the extent to which they judged the reason to be responsible for their household clutter.
Lack of time was an almost universally endorsed reason for clutter. Clinically severe hoarding levels were associated with lower responsibility ratings for time-related reasons and increased endorsement of distress-related reasons.
Future research should examine whether insight level affects how individuals with clinically severe hoarding perceive the locus of control for household clutter.
Perception of lack of time may influence individuals' sense of locus of control for their household clutter levels. Hoarding severity is associated with being more likely to attribute distress around discarding or decision making as the reason for clutter.
本研究旨在在前人关于囤积背景下保留/丢弃原因的研究基础上，通过考察个体对家庭杂物控制的感知，进一步探讨这一问题。
要求参与者列出他们认为造成杂物堆积的原因，并为每个原因分配一个百分比评分，以反映他们认为该原因对其家庭杂物堆积的责任程度。
缺乏时间是导致杂物堆积的一个几乎普遍被认可的原因。临床严重囤积水平与与时间相关的原因的责任评分较低以及与与痛苦相关的原因的认可增加有关。
未来的研究应探讨洞察力水平是否会影响临床上严重囤积的个体对家庭杂物控制的感知。
对缺乏时间的感知可能会影响个人对家庭杂物堆积程度的控制感。囤积严重程度与更有可能将围绕丢弃或决策的痛苦归因于杂物堆积的原因有关。
