Avoiding Peer Information and Its Effects on Charity Crowdfunding: A Field Experiment

Tat Y. Chan et al.

Summary: We examine the impact of individuals avoiding peer information in a charity crowdfunding experiment. Our findings indicate that despite free access, most individuals (89%) choose not to seek peer information. These individuals were less likely to give and promote charity campaigns, while their peers were more likely to engage in these behaviors. This behavior leads to an 8.5% reduction in total campaign distribution and a 7.7% decrease in total donation amount. Additionally, a stylized model demonstrates how the pressure of peer comparison influences individuals' decision to avoid seeking information and how this decision affects the giving and promoting behaviors of marginal individuals within a group.

Voluntary or reluctant? Social influence in charitable giving: an ERP study

Qiang Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers conducted an ERP experiment to investigate the impact of social influence on giving behavior. They found that social influence in different directions affected participants' donation decisions, with upward social information leading to increased donations and downward social information leading to decreased donations. The ERP results showed that upward social information elicited larger FRN amplitudes and smaller P3 amplitudes compared to downward and equal conditions. The study also revealed that pressure ratings were associated with FRN patterns across the three conditions, suggesting that people are more likely to donate due to perceived pressure rather than voluntary altruism in social situations.
