Happy Faces, Sad Faces: the Interactive Effects of Affective Displays and Donation Types on Charitable Giving
In this research, we find that donors tend to contribute money to a happy child rather than to a sad child whereas they tend to contribute time to a sad child than to a happy child. Results demonstrate that donors emphasize their own psychological wellbeing in charitable giving such that donors’ happiness mediates the differential effects of recipients’ affective displays on donation types.
