The article talks about how our tendency to stick with the status quo affects our decision-making. The researchers created a model that shows how the status quo influences our choices by changing our preferences and where we focus our attention. They found that status quo bias is stronger when we have more options to choose from and that introducing a status quo can make us choose differently even among non-status quo options. Through experiments, they showed that both our attention and preferences play a role in how the status quo impacts our decisions.
