Abstract： The maximization decision-making style includes two dimensions: the maximization goal and the maximization strategy, each exhibiting distinct adaptive functions. Most studies often rely on scores of the overall or the specific dimension, a method that fails to fully capture the complexity of maximizers. This review analyzes the differences and connections between the two dimensions of maximization from the perspective of motivation, leading to the proposal of a person-centered maximization four-quadrant model and its hypotheses. This model categorizes decision-makers into four types: mixed-type, goal-oriented, strategy-oriented, and non-maximizers. Based on this model, this review analyzes the adaptive functions of different types of maximizers from the perspectives of emotional adaptation and social consumption behavior adaptation. Finally, this review discusses the theoretical and practical value of the maximization four-quadrant model, and suggests that future research should further explore the interaction between dimensions, adopt a person-centered perspective, conduct longitudinal analyses, and investigate influencing factors and neurological foundations, to enhance understanding of adaptive functions of different types of maximizers.

Abstract： Quiet ego is a kind of identity that neither pays too much attention to self nor others, integrating with others without losing self. It is beneficial to individual’s physical and mental health, especially to improve the individual's subjective well-being, self-rated health, and the reduction of materialism. A quiet ego could be promoted by mindfulness and meditation. By summarizing the concept of quiet ego, the perspective of growth and balance, the measuring method, the influence of quiet ego on mental health and the related research results on how to promote quiet self, this paper holds that quiet ego is essentially the balance and integration of self in space and time dimensions. At present, there have been many researches about quiet ego, but as a relatively new research field, the localization, systematization, development, and promotion of the quiet ego should be discussed in the future "
