The thrill, excitement and stress involved in online shopping gets people’s hearts racing more than social media, according to a new study from Currys.
The research revealed that shoppers’ heart rates increased by an average of 4.9 per cent when online shopping, compared with just 2.7 per cent when browsing social media.
In addition, online shopping was given a stress rating of four out of 10, whilst social media was scored just three out of 10, whilst women reportedly enjoy online shopping more than men, despite their heart rates raising 3.4 per cent more than their male counterparts when doing so.
