In the field of economics, the principle of scarcity is a well-known strategy, which is widely used as a practice by traders to increase the interest of potential customers. "We have one last left" is a phrase you have probably heard often. In other words, people set a higher value for something that is rare (diamonds) and another value for wholesale things (other stones). The same principle works in our psychology and choices in life even for things that are not necessarily related to purchases. To analyze this, we can refer to "Love Story" and "Për'Puthen".
An excellent analysis of this phenomenon has been made by Drs. Shauna Springer, psychologist and researcher on relationships and lifestyle. In her book Marriage, for Equals: The Successful Joint (Ad) Ventures of Well-Educated Couples, she addresses the principle of absence and stops. also in "The Bachelor", a format similar to "Love Story", where a group of girls compete to win the heart of a boy. According to her, as the elections decrease, the competition increases. How so?
Dr. Springer says that it is ridiculous to hear girls with different personalities and styles say literally "he is perfect for me". So, just like in economics, when demand exceeds supply, limited supply suddenly starts to look attractive. According to her, many girls in the format "The Bachelor", create create consent for the bachelor before meeting him by being satisfied with a little information. Recall that in the first episode of "Love Story", just after a greeting meeting a few seconds, some girls said that Saimiri exceeded their expectations, that he was very good, that they could not wait to meet, that they would write the story between them etc.
Ndër të tjera, Dr. Springer evidenton edhe faktin se ndodh shumë rrallë që një konkurrente ta refuzojë trëndafilin, çka rrjedhimisht ngre diskutimin: “A nuk ndodh që dikush gjatë garës të heqë dorë sepse thjesht nuk i pëlqen djaloshi beqar?”. Sigurisht, përgjigjet ajo, producentët editojnë çfarë shfaqet në ekran dhe sigurisht shumë garuese kanë të tjera motive në program, si fama. Megjithatë shton se nëse do të kishte më shumë zgjedhje, interesi i tyre do të ndryshonte.
Nëse do të kishte më shumë se një pretendent, siç ndodh në “Për’Puthen”, garuesit do ta vlerësonin ndryshe situatën dhe do të mendonin edhe shkallën e përshtatjes me njëri-tjetrin (kujtoni Anën me Atdheun, Fatjonin me Melisën, Tean me Beartin, Mevlanin me çdo vajzë të re etj).
Unlike "Për'Puthen", in "Love Story" many girls choose to stay because they want what others want and this phenomenon is no different from massively following a trend, no matter how ridiculous it may be, such as short jeans.
