PsychCrunch

PsychCrunch is the podcast from the British Psychological Society's Research Digest. Each episode we explore whether the findings from psychological science can make a difference in real life. Just how should we live, according to psychology? We speak to psychologists about their research and whether they apply what they've discovered in their own lives.

This is Episode Four of PsychCrunch, the podcast from the British Psychological Society's Research Digest. In this festive episode we explore whether psychology can help us with gift giving. 
Our presenter Christian Jarrett and his guests discuss the benefits of giving "giver-centric" gifts; how recipients like to receive gifts on their wish lists; why ethical or pro-social gifts are sometimes not so warmly received; and the two words that can salvage that awkward situation when a gift doesn't go down too well. 
Our guests in order of appearance are <a href="http://lacavanaugh.com">Lisa Cavanaugh</a> USC Marshall School of Business, <a href="http://members.psyc.sfu.ca/aknin">Lara Aknin</a> of Simon Fraser University, and <a href="http://www.alexfradera.net">Alex Fradera</a>, contributing writer to the BPS Research Digest blog.
