The relationship between satisficer/maximizer decision-making strategies and satisfaction is surprising because, contrary to what one may expect, maximizers, who take more time to make the best possible choice, tend to be less happy with the outcome than satisficers. Satisficers, on the other hand, may not always make the absolute best choice, but they are content with a choice that meets their criteria and are generally happier with the outcome.
