It's an alternate 2016, and Watchtower 10 sits in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, keeping lonely watch over the Transcontinental Bridge. Each watchtower sits hundreds of feet away from the Bridge, broadcasting regular traffic reports to ensure that proper safety precautions are taken. These lighthouses (for cars) are filled with a carefully selected (and very capable) crew. Watchtower 10's necessary personnel happen to be: a generalist DJ who spends her free time relaying folklore from aba ...

In today’s episode I share an interview that I did with Dr. Lara Aknin, where we discuss her research article titled “Give a piece of you: Gifts that reflect givers promote closeness.” The abstract for the article is provided below. Dr. Aknin is an assistant professor of psychology at Simon Fraser University whose work focuses on “Happiness, well-being, prosocial behavior/altruism, social relationships, emotion, money.” If you have any questions or feedback, please either share them in the comment section below, or send me a message by going to methodologyforpsychology.org/contact. Thank you for listening.
Abstract
Gift giving is an ancient, ubiquitous and familiar behavior often thought to build and foster social connections, but what types of gifts are most effective in increasing closeness between the giver and the recipient? In six studies we explore both the perceptions and relational outcomes of gifts that reflect thegiver (giver-centricgifts) and gifts that reflect therecipient (recipient-centricgifts). Across studies, we find a strong and consistent preference for giving and receiving recipient-centric gifts. Surprisingly, however, in the gift-giving contexts examined in these studies, both givers and receivers report greater feelings of closeness to their gift partner when the gift reflects the giver.
