Americans today choose among more options in more parts of life than has ever been possible before. To an extent, the opportunity to choose【C1】______our lives. It is only logical to think that if some choice is good, more is better; people who care about having【C2】______options will benefit from them, and those who do not can always just【C3】______the 273 versions of cereal they have never tried.【C4】______recent research strongly suggests that, psychologically, this【C5】______is wrong. Although some choice is undoubtedly better than none, more is not always better than【C6】______.
Recent research offers【C7】______into why many people【C8】______unhappy rather than pleased when their options【C9】______. We began【C10】______a distinction between "maximizers" (those who always aim to make the best possible choice) and "satisficers" (those who aim for "good enough," whether or not better selections might be out there).
The greatest maximizers engage【C11】______more product comparisons than the satisficers, both before and after they make purchasing decisions, and they take【C12】______to decide what to buy. When satisficers find an item that【C13】______their standards, they stop looking. But maximizers【C14】______enormous effort【C15】______labels, checking out consumer magazines and trying new products. They also spend more time comparing their purchasing decisions with【C16】______.
We found that the greatest maximizers are the【C17】______with the fruits of their efforts. When they compare themselves with others, they get little pleasure from finding out that they did better and【C18】______dissatisfaction from finding out that they did worse. They are more【C19】______to experiencing regret after a purchase, and if their acquisition disappoints them, their【C20】______of well-being takes longer to recover. They also tend to brood or ruminate more than satisficers do.
【C8】
