Abstract: The majority of donations are dedicated to helping human recipients. Building on prior literature that demonstrates the role of downward social comparisons between donors and donation recipients in elevating willingness to help those in need, we propose that a maximizing mindset increases such downward social comparisons, which in turn promote donations to human recipients. A set of seven studies, including online and field experiments and a secondary dataset, provides convergent support for the effect of the maximizing mindset (whether measured as an inherent individual difference or activated as a temporary mindset) on donations and the mediating role of downward social comparisons. This research enriches the understanding of donations to human recipients by showing that donations can be enhanced by a maximizing mindset. Our findings offer important insights to donation-raising agencies. Specifically, activating the maximizing mindset among prospective donors—by embedding certain words in donation appeals or encouraging donors to think about their best choices in everyday life—could benefit charities and social-cause platforms in their efforts to raise donations to support the needy.
摘 要:
大部分捐赠的目的都是为了帮助那些有需要的人。基于已有关于向下社会比较对捐赠行为的促进作用的文献,本项研究提出最优化思维模式会促进捐赠者与受助对象之间的向下社会比较,从而促进对他人的捐赠。这项研究通过七个实验,采用在线实验、实地实验和捐赠项目二手数据分析结合的研究方法验证了最优化思维模式对捐赠行为的积极效应以及向下社会比较的中介效应。基于以上结论,本项研究丰富了有关向他人捐赠行为的文献,并为公益组织和在线募捐平台等多方提供了重要的实践启示。具体来说,公益组织和平台可以通过在捐赠项目的介绍中加入特定的词语或者引导捐赠者想到他们日常中追求最优化的经历激发潜在捐赠者的最优化思维模式,这将有助于他们筹集捐款以帮助有需要的人。
