Women put friends before family!
While women are ready to go the extra mile for their friends, men put their family first.
Psychologist Elainie Madsen and colleagues at St Andrews University undertook a study to find out if men and women are philanthropic towards their relatives. The researchers asked volunteers to inflict pain on themselves, in return for cash or food hampers for a person or charity, reports the Scotsman.
The volunteers were asked to squat against a wall straining their thigh muscles. The reward for the beneficiary was more for longer the time the subjects tolerated the pain.
The researchers found that the volunteers chose to bear less pain for close pals than family members and more for charity. The researchers also observed that men gave more importance to family members, while women chose best friends to cousins.
