| What I look like when I shop: a hot mess. |
The points made by Schwartz can easily be seen in my visits to Forever 21. I walk in, enjoy the atmosphere of potential new wardrobe pieces, then freeze. Why am I trying on so many things? Do I really need all of this? Yes..but in this color?!
Another interesting and relevant point made in Positive Psychology class was the characteristics of Maximizers and Satisficers. Maximizers are prone to the 21st century's emphasis on plentiful choices -- the more options, the more time they take to make the choice, thus leading to more regret about the choice. Satisficers will pick the "good-enough" choice, and take less time to pick that choice. As a result, Maximizers take longer to find jobs and make more money, but are less satisfied with their job. Glad I accepted my first job offer.
