Anyone who has searched for a job fresh out of college knows how difficult it is to get that first job. Sending out hundreds of resumes, only to get a few interviews in the end—if you’re lucky!— and if you’re very lucky, eventually there’s a job offer on the table. Should you grasp it, or wait for something better to come along the way?
It depends on whether you are a "maximizer" or a "satisficer". Maximizers want to explore every possible option before choosing a job. They gather every stick of information in the hope of making the best possible decision. If you are a satisficer, however, you make decisions based on the evidence at hand.
Simply put, satisficers are more likely to cut their job search short and take the first job offer. Maximizers are more likely to continue searching until a better job offer comes along. Which type of approach yields the better payoff? A maximizer. Specifically, quoting the results of a study of the job search of 548 members of the Class of 2002 by Sheena Iyengar, Rachael Wells, and Barry Schwartz, the maximizers put themselves through more
contortions
in the job hunt. They applied to twenty jobs, on average, while satisficers applied to only ten, and they were significantly more likely to make use of outside sources of information and support. But it turned out to be worth it: the job offers they got were significantly better, in terms of salary, than what the satisficers got.
Satisficers were offered jobs with an average starting salary of $37, 085; the average starting salary offered to maximizers was $44, 515, more than 20 percent higher. The trouble is, however, that higher pay doesn’t make maximizers a happier group than satisficers. In fact, maximizers were significantly more likely than satisficers to be unhappy with the offers they accepted.
Evidently, being a maximizer can help you earn more income, but that income doesn’t buy more happiness, as the maximizer’s likely to agonize over the prospect of a better job offer out there he or she missed. Maximizers may have objectively superior outcomes, but they’re so busy obsessing about all the things that they could have had, they tend to be less happy with the outcomes they do get.
The passage conveys that higher pay______.
选项
A、brings less happiness to maximizers than to satisficers
B、encourages maximizers seek perfection
C、makes maximizers imagine the prospect of a better job offer
D、helps maximizers develop a sense of self-worth
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第四段。该段第二句出现明显的表示转折意义的词however,说明其后的内容是命题的重点,该句句意为“问题是,更高的薪水并没有让完美主义者比易于满足者更快乐”,A项与其表意一致,故为正确答案。B项“鼓励完美主义者追求完美”和D项“有助于完美主义者培养自身的价值感”属于无中生有。C项是对文中最后一段第一句的曲解,也排除。
