本周 Free talk 前的话题讨论：
花钱真的可以减轻悲伤吗？ Can spending money really alleviate sadness?
According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and that shoppers were three times less sad compared to those that only browsed for items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers polled by Credit Karma said they have impulsively shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they’ve maxed out a credit card in the past year. However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into a compulsion that drains finances, causes conflict, and thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.
你有过这样的体验吗？压力大的时候，逛逛超市，刷刷网店，下单一堆必需品和非必需品，这才总算舒坦了。密歇根大学2021年的一项研究显示，购物可以满足人的控制欲，缓解压力的效果是只看不买的40倍。然而，购物疗法存在副作用，刚开始看似无害，久而久之也许会发展为消耗金钱、引发冲突的强迫心理，从而带来更大的生活压力。
Topic discussion reference :
1.Do you think spending money can really alleviate sadness?
2.Talk about what you will do to adjust your mind when you are unhappy?
3.Have you ever tried to let yourself spend money capriciously?
