Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hoarding disorder is often associated with cognitive factors such as erroneous beliefs about the importance of possessions, fear of losing possessions or fear of not having enough possessions. These beliefs can lead to excessive acquisition and difficulty discarding items. Thinking that wealth is defined by possessions may contribute to these erroneous beliefs, but it is not a specific cognitive factor related to hoarding disorder. Inattention is also not a specific cognitive factor related to hoarding disorder.
