Study Shows Giving Makes People Feel Good
The long lines and stress associated with Black Friday are hardly things that make people feel great but, according to a new study there is one thing that lifts peoples’ mood this holiday season: Giving to others.
The study, the results of which were released last week in conjunction with #GivingTuesday, a national day that encourages others to donate to their favorite charities, was conducted online by Harris Interactive.
A majority of the survey respondents (60 percent) reported feeling hope that they are making a difference, followed by feeling satisfied (48 percent), good about themselves (43 percent), and excited (28 percent).
