Abstract

ABSTRACT Is the identifiable victim effect (IVE; helping a single identified victim more than a statistical victim) stronger for child victims than adult victims? In this paper, we test the effect of identifying a victim and whether that victim is a child or adult on helping motivation and donation behaviors. In three studies (N = 1508) with different samples from different countries, we find no main effect of identifiability on any of our measures, and no support that the IVE mainly occurs for children. However, we find an age effect; child victims receive more help (studies 1a-1b) or evoke a greater motivation to help (study 2) than adult victims.

帮助孩子还是大人?系统地测试儿童和成人受害者的可识别受害者效应

可识别受害人效应(IVE;帮助一个确定的受害者(而不是统计上的受害者)对儿童受害者的帮助比对成人受害者的帮助更强?在本文中，我们测试了识别受害者以及受害者是儿童还是成人对帮助动机和捐赠行为的影响。在来自不同国家的三个不同样本的研究(N = 1508)中，我们发现可识别性对我们的任何测量都没有主要影响，并且不支持IVE主要发生在儿童身上。然而，我们发现了年龄效应;与成年受害者相比，儿童受害者得到了更多的帮助(研究1a-1b)，或者激发了更大的帮助动机(研究2)。
