Scientists have found that receiving a small material gift improves the recipient's emotions more than having a supportive conversation with a loved one.
It is enough to give a person a chocolate bar or a bouquet of flowers to improve his mood.
Scientists from the US and Canada have stated that chocolate as a gift is better at lifting the mood than a heart-to-heart conversation, reports the Daily Mail .
This is because gifts are given solely for the benefit of the recipient.
They are perceived by people more positively than heart-to-heart conversations.
Scientists conducted a study to determine the impact of gifts and confidential conversations on a person.
It turned out that during a conversation, people expect a mutually beneficial exchange.
In the case of a gift, recipients see the sincere intentions of the giver.
However, the cost of the gift is not as important as the attention it gives to the recipient.
