Literature[edit source]

Hello, I found an article that might be suitable for your book chapter: Scheibehenne, B., Greifeneder, R., & Todd, P. M. (2009). What moderates the too-much-choice effect? Psychology & marketing, 26(3), 229-253. https://doi.org/10.1002/mar.20271

I am doing the Freedom and motivation chapter which would be a broader view of yours, so we could potentially assist, and link to one and other throughout. Thanks: Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Freedom and motivation U3217955 (discusscontribs) 22:54, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
