Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the compulsive buying behavior among Malaysian youths. Specifically, this study aims to examine the indirect effects of money attitude on compulsive buying through materialism. The intercept method was used where respondents were systematically selected based on every fifth student who entered the university library. A structured closeended self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Structural equation modelling using SMART PLS 3.0 was employed in this study to analyze the indirect effects of money attitude on compulsive buying through the mediation of materialism. The results indicated that power prestige and anxiety dimensions of money attitude had significant effects on compulsive buying via materialism. Although understanding money attitude, materialism and compulsive buying may help marketers gain greater market share, ethical and socially responsible marketing strategies must also be taken into account. In addition, parents and higher learning institutions need to take initiatives to prevent the forming of maladaptive behaviors among youths. Implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
