The goal of this study was to investigate whether core self-evaluation is linked to hoarding behavior, in addition to erroneous beliefs about possessions and indecisiveness in a non-clinical sample (N = 270). Even though all variables correlated significantly with hoarding, only indecisiveness and concerns about information loss after item discarding proved to be significant predictors. Multiple parallel mediational analyses revealed that core self-evaluation exerts its total influence on hoarding via indecisiveness and erroneous beliefs about possessions. Research results not only support the theoretical and qualitative viewpoint of the connection between self-concept and hoarding but also contribute to the research in this field by revealing the role of indecisiveness and erroneous beliefs about possessions in this context.
