Humanity Assertion and Anticipated Reckoning: Insights From Gift Exchange in a Crisis Context
Using Identity-Based Motivation (Oyserman, 2007) to examine gift giving in Nazi concentration camps, we analyze a new gift-giving motivation, that of humanity assertion, which reinforces moral identities and basic human dignity. We then introduce the construct of anticipated reckoning: self-regulation through an imagined future self who judges one’s current actions.
