Confusion and Even Depression Would Be Led By Too Many Choices - By: wallace

Researchers from Stanford University and Swarthmore College found that people would feel embarrassed if there are too many choices, they would get nervous if they can't pay more attention to the things they do, there would worry because they did not know whether the decision they made was right or wrong. The researchers believe that the key question of this outcome is that when people are faced with too many choices, they would be too concerned about what consequences their own choices will lead. People would be confused easily by many choices before make a decision, once the decision is made, they would not satisfy with their choice which they hold a suspected attitude. In addition, psychological selfishness and indifference will be rose by making the choice, this is because people often use individual likes and dislikes as the standard to make a choice, less take into account the interests of society as a whole.

"In the condition of the political, social and historical environment in the USA, freedom, autonomy and the right to be chosen are considered as the most important rights." the researchers wrote, "modern psychology put the emphasis on independent right to choose which is the key to maintain a healthy mental function". However, the study report concludes that the concept of putting emphasis on freedom and choose with freedom is not apply to all. Report says: "according to research about half a century, it shows that free and independent choice play an important role on mental health. This conclusion may apply to the highly educated middle-class and 95% of the world's people do not apply."

The researchers reviewed a range of earlier studies involving the selection of cultural and found that freedom and independent choice are highly valued by Westerners people who have highly educated. As for non-Western people and the working class in the Western countries, it is not so significant. When referred the definition of choice, Westerners and non-Westerners also have different views, In addition, this opportunity of freedom of choice will not increase their sense of well-being, but it weakened. At last, Marcus said: "We can¡¯t assume that everyone would like to do choices. More choices maybe not bring freedom and happiness."
