Thrill of Giving
Interesting research on the thrill of giving.
I just didn't realize that giving was THAT exciting, and will have to remember it next time I take an offering.
The data, I fear, is bit skewed however:
1) The research is based on 19 women. It would probably come out differently if conducted with 19 men. (particularly the part that equates charitable giving with food and sex.)
2) It is also conducted with OTHER PEOPLE'S money. I can understand that part. It's much more exciting to spend other people's money than your own. (i.e. observe the politicians.)
