When asked what they want in a date or partner, people say one thing, but choose someone very different. But they tend to pick dogs that match their desired traits.A study found that only about 13 per cent of people who take home a shelter dog return it; the success rate is especially worth noting because before deciding on a committed relationship with a dog, we're operating with less information.
Can I take any credit for this good decision? Maybe. When scientists who study decision-making looked at the way people pick pets, they found we're actually not that bad at it. The success rate is especially worth noting because before deciding on a committed relationship with a dog, we're operating with less information: We can't go on dates with prospective pets, or get them to talk about themselves. We presumably also think about it less than most people think about marriage.
No wonder decision making is so treacherous. We can screw up by either thinking too little or too much. We can also end up unhappy with a good or neutral decision by thinking too much about it after making it. It's possible that in many cases, our decisions don't have the power we attribute to them, or they become powerful because we fixate on them.
