The Psychology of Charitable Donations to Disaster Victims and Beyond (2015, result): “These findings are in line with a natural field experiment investigating voluntary contributions to an art gallery, where the amount of money previously placed into a transparent box had a significant effect of donations, showing the power of social norms (Martin & Randal, 2008, 2011).”
Charitable Intent: A Moral or Social Construct? A Revised Theory of Planned Behavior Model (2011, background): “In addition, field experiments have shown that individuals are more willing to give if they know that others are giving as well (e.g., Frey and Meier 2004; Croson and Shang 2008; Martin and Randal 2008), a phenomenon known as ‘conditional cooperation’.”
Do watching eyes affect charitable giving? Evidence from a field experiment (2012, background): “4At least two studies confirms that observing more money in the collection box can increase further donations, Soetevent (2005) and Martin and Randal (2008). 5The last interpretation is plausible since the message accompanying the watching eyes ends with: “Thank you.”
Sustaining cooperation in laboratory public goods experiments: a selective survey of the literature (2011, background): “35The possible applications are numerous including charitable contributions (Andreoni 2006; Andreoni and Petrie 2004; List and Lucking-Reiley 2002; Martin and Randal 2008; Vesterlund 2003), tax compliance (Andreoni et al. 1998; Frey and Torgler 2007), managing natural resources (Cardenas et al.…”
Using Nonpecuniary Strategies to Influence Behavior: Evidence from a Large-Scale Field Experiment (2013, background): “The first is a growing body of work that examines the use of prosocial messages or social comparisons in the context of charitable giving (Bryan & Test, 1967; Reingen, 1978; Frey & Meier, 2004; Croson & Shang, 2008; Martin & Randal, 2008; Shang & Croson, 2009).”
Norm Perception as a Vehicle for Social Change (2016, background): “…(1990) experiments point to the importance of seeing vivid or face-to-face examples of other individuals’ norm-consistent behavior, and to the power of combined sources of normative information from group members and from the physical context (see also Croson & Shang, 2010; Martin & Randal, 2008).”
What's the right thing to do? Increasing pro-sociality with simple moral nudges (2017, unknown): “Finding mechanisms to promote prosocial behaviour is fundamental for the well-being of our societies, and is more urgent than ever in a time of key global challenges such as resource conservation, climate change, and social inequalities (1-11).”
