Three experiments demonstrate the influences of touch element on donation amount. The results indicate that touching a victim’s photo lead to higher donation amount, especially for high need-for-touch individuals. Moreover, this relationship is mediated by sympathy. This research also shows that seeing a victim’s face is not a necessary condition.
