The indecisive generation

The growing ranks of ‘indeciders’ are defined as ‘a group of individuals suffering high levels of confusion while displaying an inability to be decisive, leading in some cases to depression’.

The term was coined by Professor Harriet Bradley from the University of Bristol. She said: ‘With a constant stream of new media, daily technological advancements and aggressive multimedia advertising, it’s no wonder over half of Britain thinks life is more confusing for them than for their parents.’

According to the survey, 42 per cent lie awake at night trying to make choices, and almost half admit that ‘even little decisions can be hard to make’.
