For we are constantly buy gifts: for Christmas and Mother?s Day, for birth and baptism, for the start of school and exams, for engagements and weddings, for birthdays or as souvenirs. Moreover, gift-giving is a very important psychological phenomenon, based on voluntariness, but also representing a duty and requiring compliance with rules. Thus, gift giving is by no means always associated with joy, but also with stress in the search for a perfect gift and disappointment when gifts fail. The book presents central results of psychological research on gift-giving. These provide answers to the following questions, among others: What ?secret? rules of giving and receiving do we follow? What messages do we send with our gifts? How do certain characteristics - such as the amount of the price or empathy - influence satisfaction with a gift? What mistakes should we avoid when giving gifts in romantic relationships? When is a monetary gift appropriate and when is it not? The Author Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Bernd Stauss held the Chair of Service Management at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. . 606 $aGifts 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aPsicologia positiva$2thub 606 $aRegals$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aGifts. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 7$aPsicologia positiva 615 7$aRegals 676 $a394 700 $aStauss$b Bernd$0999182 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910640389303321 996 $aPsychology of Gift-Giving$93284873 997 $aUNINA
