What is Shopping Therapy?

“Shopping therapy” is more commonly referred to as “retail
therapy.” Some people go out shopping when they have had

a bad day, and will use the positive feelings that they get
from buying new things to level out their mood.

Shopping restores a sense of control

Research has shown that making shopping decisions can help
reinforce a sense of personal control over our environment. It
can also ease feelings of sadness.

A 2014 study from the Journal of Consumer Psychology found
that retail therapy not only makes people happier
immediately, but it can also fight lingering sadness.

Online Shopping

Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce
which allows consumers to directly buy goods or
services from a seller over the Internet using a web
browser or a mobile app. Consumers find a product of
interest by visiting the website of the retailer directly or
by searching among alternative vendors using a
shopping search engine, which displays the same
product's availability and pricing at different
e-retailers. As of 2020, customers can shop online using
a range of different computers and devices, including
desktop computers, laptops, tablet computers and
smartphones.
