10、n them,the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researcher at the University of Cambridge,has found similar results in nature.She
11、 studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful males the ones who are more successful with females have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Se
12、tchell,another study shows the effect of red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches,Zebra finches already have bright red beaks(鸟喙),so this study suggests that,as with Olympic athl
13、etes,an extra flash of red is significant.In fact,researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean t
14、hat the males are healthier.Nothing in nature is simple,however,because in species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red?Do their clothes g

26、ularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year,including weddings,birthdays,anniversaries,and graduations.This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain feelings in gift-givers.Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build st
27、ronger bonds,while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients(接受者).Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process,serving various political,religious,and psychological functions.Economists,however,offer a less favorable view.Accordi
28、ng to Waldfogel,gift-giving represents an objective wasteof resources.People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own,or at least not spend as much money to purchase(a phenomenon referred to asthe deadweight loss of Christmas”).What is surprising is that gift-givers have much e
29、xperience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients,but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.In the present research,we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem gift-givers link how much they spend with how much reci
30、pients will appreciate the gift.Though it seems natural to gift-givers,such an assumption may be unfounded.Indeed,we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely

32、udes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship.In this sense,gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a“stronger signal”.As for gift-recipients,they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and
33、 larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other partys viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day.Yet,despite the experience as both givers and receivers,people often struggle
34、 to apply information gained from one role in another.In theoretical terms,people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations.In practical terms,people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts,but somehow neve
