章节摘录

版权页：So just where does happiness reside for consumers？ Scholars and researchers haven't determined whether Armani will put a bigger smile on your face than Dolce Gabbana. But they have found that ourtypes of purchases, their size and frequency, and even the timing of the spending all affect long-term happiness.One major finding is that spending money for an experiencconcert tickets, French lessons, sushi-rolling classes, a hotel room in Monaco-produces longer-lasting satisfaction than spending money on plain old stuff. According to retailers and analysts, consumers have gravitated more toward experiences than possessions over the last couple of years, opting to use their extra cash for nights at home with family, watching movies and playing games-or for "staycations" in the backyard. Many retailing professionals think this is not a fad, but rather "the new normal. "Jennifer Black, president of the retailing research company Jennifer Black &Associates, largely at-tributes this to baby boomers' continuing concerns about the job market and their ability to send their children to college. While they will still spend, they will spend less, she said, having reset their priorities.While it is unlikely that most consumers will downsize, many have been, well, happily surprised by the pleasures of living a little more simply. The Boston Consulting Group said in a June report that recession anxiety had prompted a "back-to-basics movement," with things like home and family increasing in importance over the last two years, while things like luxury and status have declined.Current research suggests that, unlike consumption of material goods, spending on eisure and services typically strengthens social bonds, which in turn helps amplify happiness. Academics are already in broad agreement that there is a strong correlation between the quality of people's relationships and the irhappiness; hence, anything that promotes stronger social bonds has a good chance of making us feel all warm and fuzzy.
