La investigación publicada en el “Journal of Positive Psychology” afirma que la gratificación instantánea generada al adquirir objetos como ropa, zapatillas o joyas caras es únicamente pasajera.

Un estudio de la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco (Estados Unidos) ha encontrado que la clave de la felicidad radica en generar recuerdos en base a experiencias y vivencias personales (como viajar) y no comprando bienes materiales de manera compulsiva.

La investigación publicada en el ‘Journal of Positive Psychology’ afirma que la gratificación instantánea generada al adquirir objetos como ropa, zapatillas o joyas caras es únicamente pasajera. Por el contrario, al crear experiencias que perduren para siempre (y podamos recordar y comentar posteriormente) estamos invirtiendo a largo plazo en un futuro verdaderamente feliz.

“Compramos cosas para ser felices, y tenemos éxito, pero solo por un tiempo. Las cosas nuevas son emocionantes para nosotros al principio, pero luego nos adaptamos a ellas”, explica el investigador Thomas Gilovich.
