What are the psychological factors involved in hoarding?
01 January 1970
This online study looks at whether people who hoard have more difficulties experiencing uncertainty, distress and anxiety compared to those with OCD and no mental health issues, as it is possible that these factors may impact on the occurrence and severity of hoarding. The study should take 45-60 minutes and you will receive a £5 Amazon voucher and a small donation made to a charity on your behalf as a thank you for participating.
