A new study shows that retail therapy can make you feel better
Glamour magazine online reports on Assistant Professor of Marketing Monika Lisjak’s research that showed shopping can make you feel better, depending on what you buy.
Glamour magazine online reports on a W. P. Carey study that showed shopping can make you feel better, depending on what you buy. From Glamour.com, February 9, 2016:
"You have to improve what you are not good on, and just buying products that signal certain desired traits will not be enough," explained Monika Lisjak, assistant professor of marketing at ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business. Translation? If you're bummed about not getting a raise at work, hitting the shops and splashing out on a new, polished dress for the office is likely to make you feel worse, not better, since it'll remind you of the issue that got you to take out your credit card in the first place.
