背景：恐慌性购买是一种不稳定的人类行为，已被不定期和间歇性地报道。目前还缺乏研究探讨造成恐慌性购买的可识别因素，我们的目的是从网络媒体报道中找出导致恐慌性购买的因素。方法：我们仔细阅读了英文媒体报道，讨论了恐慌性购买的不同方面。我们收集了截至2020年5月30日的数据，并搜索了导致恐慌性购买的可能原因。结果：我们共分析了784篇媒体报道。大部分报告来自Bing（18%）、Ecosia（12.6%）、Google（26.4%）和Yahoo（12.5%）。93个国家报告了恐慌性购买。在784份回应中，共有171份报告没有解释恐慌性购买的责任因素。因此，我们分析了其余613份报告，以确定相同的情况。据报道，在约75%的报告中，稀缺感是重要因素，其次是需求增加（66.07%），产品的重要性（45.02%），预期价格上涨（23.33%）以及由于COVID-19及其相关因素（13.21%）。其他报告的因素包括谣言，心理因素（寻求安全的行为，不确定性，焦虑减少，并采取控制），社会学习，缺乏信任，政府行为和过去的经验。结论：本研究揭示了从媒体报道中提取的恐慌性购买的责任因素。此外，涉及沉迷于恐慌性购买行为的个人的研究也有必要复制这些发现。
Background: Panic buying is an erratic human behavior that has been reported irregularly and episodically. There is a dearth of studies exploring the identifiable factors accounting for it. We aimed to identify the factors responsible for panic buying extracted from online media reports. Methods: We scrutinized the media reports published in English discussing the different aspects of panic buying. We collected data until May 30, 2020, and searched the possible mentioned reasons responsible for panic buying. Results: We analyzed a total of 784 media reports. The majority of the reports were found in Bing (18%), Ecosia (12.6%), Google (26.4%), and Yahoo (12.5%). Panic buying was reported in 93 countries. Among the 784 responses, a total of 171 reports did not explain the responsible factors of panic buying. Therefore, we analyzed the remaining 613 reports to identify the same. A sense of scarcity was reportedly found as the important factor in about 75% of the reports followed by increased demand (66.07%), the importance of the product (45.02%), anticipation of price hike (23.33%), and due to COVID-19 and its related factors (13.21%). Other reported factors were a rumor, psychological factors (safety-seeking behavior, uncertainty, anxiety reduction, and taking control), social learning, lack of trust, government action, and past experience. Conclusions: The study revealed the responsible factors of panic buying extracted from media reports. Further, studies involving the individuals indulging in panic buying behavior are warranted to replicate the findings.
