Abstract	The present study is an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of a selective advising program in reducing the degree of Compulsive Buying Behavior among female students, Faculty of Education at Umm al-Qura University. The sample consisted of (200) female students to verify the validity and reliability of the tool. The quasi-experimental method was utilized through two groups (experimental and control). The results indicated high rates of compulsive buying among the participants (18-30) years, where there was a great difference between the items of the scale and a great desire for buying for many reasons. The study results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of experimental and control groups at the pre- and post-test in the compulsive buying scale, significant at (0.005) in favor of the pre- and post-test. There are also statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group at the pre- and post-test in the compulsive buying scale, significant at (0.005) in favor of the post-test, i.e. the selective advising program decreased the rate of Compulsive Buying Behavior. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences between the mean of the experimental group ranks in the post- and follow-up test, which reveals that the advising program is being effective.
