According to the textbook, maximizers invest more time and effort in their decisions, which raises their expectations for the outcomes. This can lead to higher satisfaction if the outcome meets or exceeds their expectations. Satisficers, on the other hand, are more likely to accept good enough outcomes and may not invest as much in decision-making, which can lead to lower expectations and lower satisfaction with the outcome.
