ĐỌC HIỂU Đọc bài đọc và trả lời 8 câu hỏi kèm theo [A] The concept of "paradox of choice" suggests that while we may believe that more choices lead to greater satisfaction, an overwhelming number of options can actually have the opposite effect. Psychologist Barry Schwartz popularized this idea in his 2004 book The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz argues that when individuals are presented with too many choices, they experience decision paralysis—an inability to choose due to the overwhelming number of options. This phenomenon can lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and regret. People may feel that the perfect choice exists, but they are unable to identify it amidst a sea of alternatives. This feeling of being stuck in a loop of indecision only exacerbates the frustration and dissatisfaction. [B] In addition to the cognitive overload caused by too many choices, Schwartz highlights the concept of "opportunity cost." When individuals are faced with a wide array of options, they are constantly comparing their choice to the alternatives they rejected. This comparison leads to a heightened awareness of what might have been gained by making a different choice. The greater the number of options, the more likely people are to feel regret, questioning whether they made the "right" decision. Even when the chosen option is perfectly adequate, the constant weighing of alternatives can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, as people wonder if a better option was available. [C] Schwartz concludes that limiting the number of choices can actually improve satisfaction. When there are fewer options to consider, people are less likely to experience the cognitive overload and anxiety associated with decisionmaking. By narrowing down the choices, individuals can make decisions more confidently and feel less regret afterward. This approach, Schwartz suggests, may not only improve decision-making but also contribute to overall well-being by reducing the stress that accompanies excessive choice.
