Keyword: Giving

Abstract: Empathic concern, an emotional facet of empathy, significantly predicted charitable giving intentions across two studies (N = 285; N = 192), but not for political or religious charities. Other empathy facets (e.g., perspective taking, emotion recognition) were non-significant. Results inform targeted fundraising strategies and challenge one-size-fits-all donor engagement approaches.
