“…Altruistic inclination is known to affect significantly charity-giving behavior (see Bennett, 1997;Sargeant, 1999). In the present study, altruistic inclination was evaluated using six items from a scale developed and validated by Bennett and Barkensjo (2005) on the basis of prior instruments constructed by Schwartz (1977). The items queried whether a person felt a "strong moral obligation towards the welfare of others," a strong sense of social responsibility, commitment to a just world, pleasure when helping others, and whether others would regard the individual as considerate and caring (p. 278).…”

This article presents the outcomes to a study of the charity donation behavior of 771 low-income people residing in three socially deprived Boroughs in inner-London. It emerged that several variables known to affect (a) levels of charity giving and (b) choices of types of charity supported among the U.K. public as a whole also influenced the donation behavior of the financially poor. In addition, it appeared that a participant’s sense of affinity with other low-income people and the degree to which the individual believed that the poor were unfairly treated by society at large exerted significant impacts on giving behavior. However behavior differed according to whether a low-income person was “better-educated” (i.e., possessed a qualification beyond the level normally obtained at the minimum legal school leaving age) or was less well-educated. The “very poor” did not donate a higher percentage of their incomes than the moderately poor.

“…Again, factor analyses of responses generated unidimensional solutions (lambda = 4.0; Cronbach's alpha = .85 and lambda = 3.9; Cronbach's alpha = .83). Altruistic inclination was measured using six items from a scale developed and validated by Bennett and Barkensjo (2005) on the basis of prior instruments constructed by Schwartz (1977) (lambda=4.6; Cronbach's alpha=.83 and lambda=4.0; Cronbach's alpha=.8)). The scale items queried whether a person felt a 'strong moral obligation towards the welfare of others', a strong sense of social responsibility, commitment to a just world, pleasure when helping others, and whether others would regard the individual as considerate and caring (p. 278).…”

Financial charity giving behaviour of the working poor: an empirical investigation

Although it is well-known that, on the average, financially poor individuals donate higher percentages of their incomes to charity than do the financially well-off, little research has been completed into possible differences in the financial giving behaviour of poor people in employment (the working poor) and poor individuals of working age who do not work. The present study addresses this issue via a survey of working and unemployed poor people in three low-income Boroughs in inner-London: Newham, Hackney and Tower Hamlets. It is hypothesised that disparities can be explained by, among other things, factors connected with a poor person's sense of engagement with the wider society; in conjunction with an individual's experiences and perceptions of social deprivation. Outcomes to the investigation suggest that the working poor tend to exhibit attitudes and behaviour more similar to those of the financially better-off than to the non-working poor, and that their affinity with the betteroff extends to their donating lower percentages of their incomes to charity than the unemployed poor.
