When Interdependents Do Not Donate: the Effect of Fear on Charitable Giving
Many studies have found positive correlations between interdependent self-construal and charitable behavior. However, Japanese (high interdependents) donate little. In two experiments, this paper examines the impact of fear on interdependents’ charitable giving. The results show that the higher the level of fear, the higher the tendency not to donate.
