• Reward crowdfunding contribution as planned behaviour: An extended framework (2019, background): “First, regarding subjective norms, it has been shown that social pressure plays an important role in a variety of behaviors in online environments (Fu et al., 2015), donation gift giving (Meer, 2011), as well as purchase situations (Algesheimer, Dholakia, & Herrmann, 2005).”
• The Social Network Effect (2014, background): “Analogous to the social pressure board members often feel to donate (e.g., Galaskiewicz, 1997), this creates peer pressure (Meer, 2011) for the recipient of a solicitation to support a cause that a family member, friend, or colleague supports.”
• Fundraising through online social networks: A field experiment on peer-to-peer solicitation (2014, unknown): “While Andreoni and Rao considered social interaction between random individuals, Meer (2011) uses alumni giving data from a university to examine the effect of social ties on solicitation outcomes.”
• The Nature and Origins of Misperceptions: Understanding False and Unsupported Beliefs About Politics (2017, background): “We know that humans are heavily influenced by their peers and social contacts (e.g., Bollinger & Gillingham, 2012; Bond et al., 2012; Gerber, Green, & Larimer, 2008; Gerber & Rogers, 2009; Kast, Meier, & Pomeranz, 2012; Meer, 2011; Paluck, 2011; Paluck & Shep-herd, 2012).”
• Contagion of pro- and anti-social behavior among peers and the role of social proximity (2019, background): “…et al., 2011), investment decisions (Bursztyn et al., 2014), littering behavior (Cialdini et al., 1990), productivity at work (Ichino and Maggi, 2000; Falk and Ichino, 2006; Mas and Moretti, 2009), juvenile behavior (Damm and Dustmann, 2014), and charitable giving (Meer, 2011; Smith et al., 2015).”
