The Role of Beneficiaries' Group Identity in Charitable Giving

We investigate what determines the differential effectiveness of self- versus other-benefit appeals in charity advertisements. We find that when beneficiaries are out-group (in-group) members, self-benefit (other-benefit) appeals generate greater donation intention than other-benefit (self-benefit) appeals. We also demonstrate two distinct mediation processes to account for the proposed matching effects.
