Abstract

Abstract The identifiable victim effect (IVE) refers to individuals’ tendency to offer greater help to specific, identifiable victims than to anonymous, statistical victims. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to determine the overall weighted effect of IVE. Overall, 41 studies were included. Results indicated an overall significant yet modest IVE (r = .05). In addition, findings showed that IVE appears reliable mainly when there is a single identified or a single unidentified victim, and/or when study characteristics include elements of the following: a photographed child suffering from poverty, bearing little responsibility for the need, and/or associated with monetary requests. The implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

可识别受害者效应:荟萃分析综述

可识别受害者效应(IVE)是指个体倾向于为特定的、可识别的受害者提供比匿名的、统计的受害者更多的帮助。进行随机效应荟萃分析以确定IVE的总体加权效应。总共纳入了41项研究。结果显示总体显著但中度IVE (r = 0.05)。此外，调查结果表明，IVE主要在只有一名已确定或未确定的受害者时，和/或当研究特征包括以下因素时显得可靠:照片中的儿童遭受贫困，对需要承担的责任很少，和/或与金钱要求有关。讨论了研究结果的意义和未来的研究方向。
