The first case of digital hoarding was reported in 2015. Research has largely used a variable-centered approach, which overlooks heterogeneity in hoarding behaviors. Moreover, whether digital hoarding can exist independently of physical hoarding remains controversial. This study employed a person-centered approach to address these gaps. We surveyed 551 social networking site users and conducted a latent profile analysis. Four profiles emerged: no-hoarding, mild-hoarding, digital-hoarding, and severe-hoarding. The digital-hoarding group showed the highest digital hoarding but the second lowest physical hoarding; the severe-hoarding group showed high levels of both. Digital-hoarding and severe-hoarding groups had significantly higher SNS addiction than the other two groups. The digital-hoarding group reported the highest job performance, life satisfaction, and happiness. These findings demonstrate that digital hoarding can exist independently of physical hoarding, carries both adaptive benefits (e.g., well-being, performance) and elevated SNS addiction risk, and calls for profile-based rather than one-size-fits-all interventions
