AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The more preferable situation is when the choice is between two equally good ones, because whatever the decision, the future holds a promise to be better than the present. The decision making is hard because it has broader life implications and comes with the fear of losing out on the other good option.

Detailed explanation-2: -Make a list of the potential negative consequences of choosing each option, both in the short and long term. This is a good way to narrow your decision if you feel you genuinely have 2 great choices and can’t go wrong. Consider any opportunities that might close to you if you went with 1 choice.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dilemma does not mean simply a problem; it means a choice between disagreeable alternatives.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you feel stuck between options that don’t seem that different, dig a little deeper. Find other people who have tried those options before. Look for reviews online. If you have a friend or colleague who is an expert in their area, have them tell you what questions you should have asked that you haven’t already.
