I discuss two of my studies wherein we examined genetic influences on the gift giving ritual. My Psychology Today articles wherein I covered the two studies in question: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/homo-consumericus/200812/charles-darwin-santa-claus-and-the-gift-giving-ritual http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/homo-consumericus/201110/which-family-members-offer-the-largest-wedding-gifts-maternal-or-pater Clarification: When I stated in the clip that the Saad and Gill study was conducted in 2003, in reality I meant that the work was published in 2003. The actual data collection took place earlier. My exactitude knows no bounds!
