Addicted to the Mall
What do you do for recreation? Do you swim, dance, play cards, garden, or read? Many people today prefer to spend their free time shopping. These people are called recreational shoppers. Recreational shoppers do not always buy something. They really enjoy the shopping experience. Of course, many people like going to indoor malls. However, for recreational shoppers, the mall is more than stores. For them, the mall represents happiness and fulfillment. For these people , a visit to the mall is an adventure. In fact, for many recreational shoppers the art of looking for and buying something is more fun than owning it.
Recently, psychologists discovered through a study that recreational shoppers were usually younger, had less self-control, and were more often female. The recreational shoppers also went shopping when they felt worried, angry, or depressed. Ordinary shoppers didn’t. Most of the recreational shoppers said buying something helped them feel better—it made them happy. Their negative feelings went away. Many recreational shoppers also did something unusual while they were shopping. They pretended that they were different people with different lives.
Of course, shopping is an important part of our contemporary consumer society. We spend a lot of time in malls. A recent study found that people spend most of their time at home, at work, and in school. Shopping malls ranked fourth. However, in the future, will we think of recreational shopping as an addiction like smoking or drinking?
All people who shop are recreational shoppers.
