Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting

strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities . When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, they had to turn down to pursue just one career.

基于他们对关于求职策略和职业决策问题的回答，他把这些学生分成两类：一类是“机会最大主义着”，他们考虑任何可能的选择；另一类是“满足者”，他们一直在寻找，直到找到一个满意的选择。 你或许认为，那些最大限度地寻找机会的学生会对他们的最终决定感到满意。但是结果却证明事实并非如此。Schwartz发现，尽管那些机会最大主义者找到了比追求满足感的学生工资较高的工作，但他们并不满意自己所做的决定。 这些人感觉较为不满的原因是，众多机会也意味着坐失机会。当你看到每个可能的选择是你往往更注意那些被放弃的机会而不是得到的机会。在考察过所有选择后，人们会更专注他们为了追求一项事业而放弃的机会。
