Norton said: "So instead of buying yourself a coffee buy your friend a coffee and that might actually make you a happier person.
Professor Stephen Joseph, of the University of Nottingham - an expert in the psychology of happiness who was not involved in the study - said: "Most of the research in the past has said money isn't that important in terms of happiness.
The things that are important are things to do with relationships, with other people, and things that help to promote meaning, the purpose in life. I think that's what this study speaks to. Although the clear implication of the study is that altruistic spending will make you happier, Joseph said it would be wrong to use the research to formulate advice. Research like this describes society - it doesn't tell us what society ought to be. Professor Ruut Veenhoven, of Erasmus University in Rotterdam, said the study showed that the economic view of human motivation was incorrect.

Rachel Dec 13, I think it is better to give than receive!! Dec 13, We're right there with you, Rachel! Thank you for commenting! Aug 11, It's kind of you to think of others! Also, you could be or you are doing a favor for someone else because, for example, if your classmate doesn't have any pencils, and then you share your pencils with them, or you let them have it.
That is my reason for why i think you should give rather than receive all the time. Feb 5, Thanks for your honesty, w. We appreciate you visiting Wonderopolis anyway! Hi, w. We're sorry if you are feeling sad! Jacie Schonert Dec 7, I think it really IS better to give than receive, because if someone is in need, you would not ask them for a present.
If anything, I think you would give them one. Also, when you give someone a gift, it feels really good, and I at least get a good feeling in my heart. Dec 8, We agree, Jacie! We love giving gifts and helping others. I'm totally saving up to give you guys a gift card next year!! Wonderopolis Dec 19, Do you have any videos about The Kraken or potatoes? I would like to laugh a little today hope to see you soon Wonder friends. I hope they are funny The ones that you guys recomend P.

Thank You!!!! Wonderopolis Feb 26, Olivia Feb 21, It's better to give cause it makes other people happy.
Wonderopolis Feb 21, Wonderopolis Feb 13, My five year old friend said "I saw this on yo gabba gabba! It IS so good to give a present. Wonderopolis Dec 28, Jade age 11 Dec 19, I think it is better to give than to recieve because when you give, someone gets excited and you'll feel happy.
Also it is good deeds for you. So when you give it just is good for you. Wonderopolis Dec 20, Heidy Dec 17, Well maybe because it feels nice to give than having to take something that they buy for you. When you recieve something from another person it makes you get a little bit down and sadden up.
The gift may be from someone who didn't have enough money and problably used their birthday money for you when they really need it.
It's better to give, making them have whatever they need first. Wonderopolis Dec 17, Supermonkey Dec 13, Wonderopolis is so totally awesome. Wonderopolis Dec 13, Team Clark Dec 13, YO Wonderopolis! This was a great article! I think receiving is just as good as giving because either way one or both is satisfied. I think the scientists that study human psychology should actually do a survey on "is it better to give or receive". Thank You, JJ.
Ashley B Dec 12, I am one of the people who enjoys giving more than receiving. I feel that every person in the world should get a gift because everyone has one of those bad days and people say that because of that one bad day that kids should not get anything. Wonderopolis Dec 12, PA Kindergarteners Dec 12, We all agreed that it was better to give than to receive.
So after watching the video you left us, which made us laugh a lot, we decided to draw some really unique presents that we could give away! As a matter of fact, we shared one on Twitter as a gift back to you!
Andiegirl Dec 11, I think it is good to give, especially when they are in need. Thank you. What a great point, Andiegirl! Thanks for sharing your kind comment with us! I used to like receiving, but when I read your wonder I liked giving.
Can you make a wonder of how come lots of people in the world have the name Dylan? I am one of those people to like giving more than getting!
I just really can't stand kids never either giving, sharing, or just is not grateful for anything. Sincerely Danielle :. Wonderopolis Dec 14, It's fun to give to people. I'm working on a rose made out of duck-tape for my Mom. It's not much, but, I know she'll like it. That's why I'm making it. KaliKat Dec 11, It is better to give because you get to see other people's happiness and that is really great to see. Wonderopolis Dec 11, Giving gifts really makes us happy, too!
Even though I love to get presents, I do love to give. It makes me feel all happy inside. At school, me and my class, Mr. Bergen's fifth grade class, we are doing a "Secret Santa" gift exchange. I am so excited for all the holiday cheer! Happy Holidays! It is better to give because sometimes people don't have that much but they might want but don't have.
It makes you feel better and them too, sometimes it is good to give if someone gives you something then you should get something for them because it is always good to make a difference in people's life.
Supermonkey Dec 11, TBOY 4 Dec 11, I love Christmas. It is the best time of the year because when you give you get to see all the happy faces.
We sure agree, TBOY 4! I like to give to others and make them happy I try to give them something they would like including my friend Ally who would like a chocolate fountain. Sincerely horse. Would it be bad if someone liked to get and give things????? Wonder Friend Dec 11, I believe it's a better thing to do. I don't mean to sound religious, but it makes good happy.
