No evidence that economic inequality moderates the effect of income on generosity

A landmark study published in PNAS [Côté S, House J, Willer R (2015) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 112:15838–15843] showed that higher income individuals are less generous than poorer individuals only if they reside in a US state with comparatively large economic inequality.

On the basis of the importance of replicating a major finding before readily accepting it as evidence, we analyzed the effect of the interaction between income and inequality on generosity in three large representative datasets. We analyzed the donating behavior of…

Across eight studies with large and representative international samples, we predominantly found positive effect…

La hipótesis inicial de este artículo es que, desde mediados de los años noventa, la lógica de marca se ha extendido al ámbito de la cooperación y de la ayuda humanitaria. Que en las últimas décadas las grandes ONGD han devenido marcas postmodernas. A manera de ejemplo, hemos estudiado los logos aparecidos en los anuncios de televisión de cinco de estas organizaciones: Intermón Oxfam, Médicos Sin Fronteras, Anesvad, Ayuda en Acción y África Directo. Sin duda, el logo es el primer elemento a considerar para establecer un posicionamiento de marca porque en un logo, además de la identidad visual, se anticipan metonímicamente los relatos y los valores que sustenten la marca, bien sea una marca …
