Why the abundance of choice is actually making us miserable

Phil Hansen: Embrace the shake

Phil Hansen: Embrace the shake

oritteropo says...

His anecdote about being paralysed by choice reminds me quite a bit of the studies that Sheena Iyengar has done into choice:

What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

oritteropo says...

We adapt slowly, and given too much choice tend to become paralysed:

Not sure whether to mark that post as related, it's more of a tangent.

this video is retarded.

only good results from an increased access to information.
information is sifted and refined. More information leads to increased logical associations, which is the essence of invention and understanding.

As for the amount of information; we are an adaptive species. so fucking adapt already.

Testing Babies for Moral Choices

oritteropo says...

I don't actually find this video depressing at all. Babies are born desperate to join in to their parent's group and to "fit in". As babies we need to do this for our early development, but when passing into adulthood we tend to question EVERYTHING and drive our parents mental.

A related study on how we make choices in general is "The art of Choosing" by Sheena Iyengar.

As for the doll study that trancecoach linked, it is pretty sad and depressing. I wonder whether you can take it at face value though, or whether it's really showing that kids will choose the answer that they think the old, white, male, authority figure in charge of the study wants to hear. The newer studies always spend a lot of time trying to work out ways to avoid problems like that, but I saw no evidence that that one did.
