提供选择可以提高个体的内在动机、控制感和生活满意度。然而,选项数量并非越多越好,过多选项可能会损害心理健康和满意感。文章总结近年来涉及选项数量这一因素的研究结果,讨论过多选项的潜在危害。文章还进一步探讨过量选项造成的效应中涉及的机制,例如后悔、社会比较和效用最大化倾向,并就未来研究方向和实践应用提出建议。 Providing choices enhances the individual’s intrinsic motivation, control, and life satisfaction. However, the greater the number of options than the better, too many options may compromise mental health and satisfaction. The paper summarizes the findings of the factor involving the number of options in recent years and discusses the potential hazards of too many options. The paper further explores the mechanisms involved in the effects of over-options, such as regret, social comparison, and maximization of utility, and makes recommendations for future research directions and practical applications.
