Research Summaries: Happiness from Ordinary and Extraordinary Experiences
Today’s research summary comes from another article in the Journal of Consumer Research. Oxygen toxicity occurs when the lungs take in a higher than normal O 2 partial pressure, which can occur in deep scuba diving. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) The big ideas: It is well established that experiential purchases (like going on a vacation) lead to greater happiness than material purchases (like buying a car). However, not much is known about which types of experiences lead to greater happiness and for whom. A dimension on which experiences reliably differ are whether they are ordinary, meaning common and frequent, or extra...
