Charitable Giving to Controllable Misfortunes: the Role of Deliberation and Victim Identifiability

We investigate how generosity toward controllable misfortunes is increased, and show that charitable requests that exclude a victim’s personal information and promote donors’ deliberation will increase giving to controllable misfortunes.
