Satisficers

"People who reported exhaustive search in shopping and leisure were called maximizers, because they tried hard to get the best. Those who engaged in a limited search and settled quickly with the first alternative that was satisfactory or “good enough” were called satisficers. Satisficers were reported to be more optimistic and have higher self-esteem and life satisfaction, whereas maximizers excelled in depression, perfectionism, regret, and self-blame."

Algo me diz que os economistas julgam que todos os agentes económicos somos "maximizers"... desconfio que muitos de nós são satisficers.
