Psychology of Choice

Catalog description

Choices define who we are and show the world what we care about. Although choices feel very personal, psychological research shows that our choices are shaped by many biological, situational, structural, and cultural factors. In this class, we discuss theories and findings on how and why people make everyday choices as well as how these choices influence their psychology, covering a range of topics such as habits, variety seeking, regret, choice overload, and trends.
