“…Recent work has argued that political ideology plays a key role in explaining charitable giving behavior in the American context—in particular, the differences between those who are generous and those who are not (Brooks 2006; Brooks and Lewis 2001; Derin‐Güre and Uler 2010; Wolpert 1995). Empirical evidence points to self‐identified political conservatives’ greater financial generosity when compared with liberals (Brooks 2006; Brooks and Lewis 2001).…”

Previous research on charitable giving has identified a significant relationship between political conservatism and greater financial giving to charitable causes. Yet that research has not adequately explored the important role of religion in that relationship, nor differences in financial giving targets (i.e., religious congregations, noncongregational religious organizations, and nonreligious organizations). Support for competing theories concerning political ideology, religious practice, and charitable financial giving is assessed using data from the Panel Study on American Ethnicity and Religion (PS-ARE). For both religious and nonreligious giving, the effect of political ideology is completely mediated by participation in religious and civic practices. These findings support recent arguments on "practice theory" in cultural sociology and suggest that it is less the effect of ideology than of active participation in religious, political, and community organizations that explains Americans' financial giving to religious and nonreligious organizations.

“…Moreover, it appears that generous responses to unequal stimuli may increase with age, as a study comparing children from seven different national and cultural contexts found that older children (5-year-olds) are more generous than younger children (3-year-olds; Rochat et al, 2009). Plus, individuals are more likely to act prosocially when they are made aware of the social needs that could be addressed through their actions (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011; Derin-Gure & Uler, 2010). Thus, from this theoretical and empirical lineage, we derive a social needs expectation, such that individuals would be more likely to donate when they are exposed to information that challenges the value of distributive justice.…”

Does interacting with social science data in early adulthood promote generosity? To investigate this question from a life course development perspective, two distinct samples were drawn for a survey with an embedded experimental design. The first sample is of emerging adult college students ( n = 30, median age = 20 years). The second sample is of young adults who were selected to participate based on their prior participation in a nationally representative and longitudinal study ( n = 170, median age = 31 years). Toward the end of the survey, participants were randomly selected into a website interaction with either: (a) data on charitable giving, (b) data on social inequality, or (c) data about weather (a control condition). The key outcome of interest is a behavioral measure of generosity: whether participants elected to keep their study incentive or donate their incentive to a charitable organization. The donation decision occurred after the randomly selected website interaction. Interacting with charitable giving data resulted in greater generosity than interacting with weather data, across both samples. Interacting with social inequality data had mixed results. Moreover, emerging adult college students gave at a considerably higher rate overall than the national sample of young adults, net of treatment type. Implications are discussed.

“…Compared with studies from Europe and the United States (e.g., Alesina et al, 2004;Alesina and La Ferrara, 2005;Alesina and Giuliano, 2009;Derin-Güre and Uler, 2010), existing studies have not fully assessed the determinants of Japanese people's preference for redistribution, with the exception of Ohtake andTomioka (2004) andYamamura (2012). Therefore, it is necessary to examine how and the extent to which the preference for redistribution is affected by siblings in non-European countries whose cultural roots are different from European countries.…”
