摘要
捐赠者不太可能向管理费用高的慈善机构捐款。提供有关开销覆盖范围及其对慈善有效性影响的信息,并结合对这些信息的深思熟虑(内省),能否减少这种开销厌恶?为了回答这个问题,我们进行了两个实验(1:N = 1017;2: N = 814),比较两个不同管理费用水平的慈善机构之一的捐款比例(0%或50%)。实验1旨在复制头顶厌恶效应,并检查是否可以通过信息和/或内省来减轻它。实验2探讨了信息内容的影响。我们在两个实验中都发现了头顶厌恶。将有关开销的细微信息与内省相结合,减少了对开销的厌恶。此外,结果表明,捐助者对间接信息的内容有反应。
Reducing overhead aversion in charitable giving through information and introspection
Donors are less likely to donate to charities with high overhead levels. Can giving information about what the overhead covers and its effect on charity effectiveness, combined with deliberating on that information (introspection) reduce such overhead aversion? To answer this, two experiments were performed (1: N = 1017; 2: N = 814), comparing the proportion of donations to one of two charities that varied in overhead levels (0 % or 50 %). Experiment 1 aimed to replicate the overhead aversion effect and examine if it may be mitigated with information and/or introspection. Experiment 2 explored the impact of information content. We find overhead aversion in both experiments. Combining nuanced information about overhead with introspection reduced overhead aversion. Moreover, the results indicate that donors are responsive to the content of the overhead information.
