Resolving conflicting frameworks for compulsive buying research

The researcher is struggling to choose between two conflicting perspectives on compulsive buying: one viewing it as an obsessive-compulsive and impulse control issue, and the other as a behavioral addiction. Both perspectives have supporting evidence, but the researcher needs help justifying the choice of one framework over the other. This uncertainty is hindering the researcher's ability to select appropriate scales for their study.
