Abstract
This manuscript builds on evolutionary theory to provide a justification to multiple and seemingly contradictory motivations occurring within the same gift-giving experience. It draws on 262 gift-giving stories from participants’ diaries and from in-depth interviews to provide a unified framework that captures overlapping gift-giving motivations and resolves the tensions therein.
