Research suggests that 'people are selfish'

New research has found that in economic decision making, humans are no more altruistic than bacteria. Dr Max Burton-Chellew of Oxford University explains the findings:

BBC4 audio file - http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8691000/8691801.stm

Positive Psychology claims that only altruistic behaviour leads to true happiness. Could this newly-proven selfishness lead to wide-spread unhappiness amongst us?

Would you agree with this research?

Do you know examples of selfless and altruistic behaviour that didn't lead to personal gain?
