讲座摘要：

Social relationships are fundamental to humankind’s happiness and well-being. To establish and maintain these relationships, we give gifts to each other on various occasions. The prevalence of gift-giving spurs an ever-growing gift industry, and it is important for marketing and consumer researchers to fully understand how consumers select their gifts. This talk covers two ongoing research projects about how consumers select gifts for others. Specifically, these two projects investigate 1) how romantic motive shapes gift selection, and 2) how consumers react to gifts with a minimalistic design. Together, findings from these two projects offer novel insight into consumers’ unique cognition and motivation in different gifting contexts.
