Feature a Benefactor Or a Victim? How Charity Appeals With Different Protagonist Foci Affect Donation Behavior
We examine charity appeals with different protagonist foci and demonstrate that a charity appeal featuring an identified benefactor can promote more donations than a comparable victim-focused charity appeal. We further examine when and why benefactor focused charity appeals might be more effective than victim focused appeals.
