Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People who have fewer options tend to have an easier time making a decision and feel more satisfied with their choice. The paradox of choice suggests that when presented with too many options, people become overwhelmed and can experience decision paralysis, which could lead to pessimism and learned helplessness. However, there is no reason to suggest that the number of options would affect one's liking for sweet foods.
