Social Norms and Charitable Giving
Charitable giving is essential for supporting collective action on various social and environmental problems. Social norms are known to sometimes affect giving, but not always. In this multilevel meta-analysis, we aggregate data from 113 independent samples from research involving 100,469 people in 22 countries to understand the extent to which social norms influence charitable giving ( r = .18, p
Let us be Clear
Transparency means being honest and open about one’s practices. Transparency is considered a gold standard in the nonprofit sector and associated with a range of positive outcomes. We propose that transparency should also become a guiding principle and documented practice for nonprofit scholars. In this article, we articulate the context for discussing transparency in social science research and the potential risks of not being transparent. Ackno…
How do Sector Level Factors Influence Trust Violations in Not-for-Profit Organizations? A Multilevel Model
The proliferation of violations within industry sectors (e.g., banking, doping in sport, abuse in religious organizations) highlights how trust violations can thrive in particular sectors. However, scant research examines how macro institutional factors influence micro level trustworthy conduct. To shed light on how sectoral features may influence trust violations in organizations, we adopt a multilevel perspective to investigate the perceived ca…
Beneficiary effects in prosocial decision making
To understand human prosocial behaviour, one must consider not only the helpers and the requesters, but also the characteristics of the beneficiaries. To this aim, this articles reviews research on beneficiary effects in prosocial decision making, which implies that some human lives are valued higher than others. We focus on eight beneficiary attributes that increase willingness to help: (1) Temporal proximity, (2) Young age, (3) Female gender, (…
International media coverage promotes donations to a climate disaster
The Australian bushfires in 2019–20 triggered massive amounts of charitable giving from the community. This study applied agenda‐setting theory to examine if and how disaster news coverage influenced public donations in response to the crisis. A survey of 949 Australians found that people perceived news coverage of the event to be a strong influence on the amount they donated to bushfire appeals, over and above past giving levels. Furthermore, me…

Why it is so hard to teach people they can make a difference
People who believe they have greater efficacy to address climate change are more likely to engage in pro-environmental behaviour. To confront the climate crisis, it will therefore be essential to understand the processes through which climate change efficacy is promoted. Some interventions in the literature assume that efficacy emerges from analytic reasoning processes: that it is deliberative, verbal, conscious, and influenced by information and…

Predictors of mental health in aid workers
Aid workers operate in stressful environments and tend to experience high psychological distress, yet not enough is known about their well-being and how to improve their mental health. This research project surveyed 243 aid workers in 77 countries undertaking humanitarian and development work who reported lower well-being and higher psychological distress than the general population. Well-being and distress emerged as two related but distinct men…
The Moral Disillusionment Model of Organizational Transgressions
Religiosity and volunteering over time
Religion's relationship to volunteering has been widely studied, with the majority of research indicating that religious service attendance matters more in motivating volunteering behavior than subjective religiosity. However, research has not adequately examined the complex interplay of these facets of religiosity in a comprehensive longitudinal framework, looking at both inter- and intraindividual differences over time. Our study uses a 2-stage…
To what extent are conspiracy theorists concerned for self versus others? A Covid‐19 test case
We examined whether people who are prone to believe COVID‐19 conspiracy theories are characterised by an especially strong concern for others or an especially strong concern for the self, and whether these orientations are associated with willingness to take a COVID‐19 vaccine. We surveyed 4,245 participants from eight nations; three months later we re‐contacted 1,262 participants from three nations. Belief in COVID‐19 conspiracy theories was rel…

Emerging research on intergroup prosociality
This paper describes an emerging body of work on intergroup prosociality, drawing together parallel literatures and highlighting some of the themes of the recent research. A broad distinction between benevolence and activism serves as the foundation to explore forms of intergroup prosociality, such as charitable giving, displays of empathy and affirmation (positive and supportive contact), allyship, and solidarity. Gaps and implications for futur…

Conquest of the Blue Nile
The Service expeditions to Ethiopia in 1964 and 1966 were planned and organized at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and the aim i each case was to collect for the Natural History Department of the British Museum. These collections were made in the lake district of the Ethiopian Rift Valley. His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, received members of these expe? ditions in audience and on the last occasion said that he h…
