5.0 out of 5 starsA fascinating collection of articles highlighting the latest research on the psychology of giving
By Michal Strahilevitz on November 22, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Why do people give to charity? What causes some to give so much more than others? What determines which causes people will support and which they will feel less compelled to contribute to? This book answers these questions, and more!

The editors have done a superb job of putting together a great collection of chapters written by academic researchers who study the psychology of charitable giving. For anyone interested in factors affecting how much people give and/or as what types of causes they tend to contribute to, this book will prove truly fascinating. The book also discusses groundbreaking research on the many psychological benefits of contributing to others. Finally, if you are a fundraiser trying to maximize the value donors receive from the contributions they make to your cause, this book is a must read.

Highly recommended for anyone who works in the non-profit sector.
If you are looking to increase volunteer contributions - financially, philosophically, or labor/time - this text compiles a broad base of psychological and sociological research into the reasons that we give in human society.

4.0 out of 5 starsBuy
By D. L. Miller on February 12, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
They need to issue a second volume as there are even more studies and papers that could have been included. Great book, quite singular. This is great work being done that's immensely helpful to fundraisers. I am very familiar with the field and as mentioned would liked to have seen this bigger or in two volumes.

5.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly counter-inuitive and very useful
By R. Zertuche on March 30, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition
An excellent book that uncovers the secrets of the counter-intuitive sides of human psychology and gives concrete principles that should be applied by charity fundraisers in all areas. I was surprised to read, for example, that people sometimes donate more after putting themselves though painful tasks because they feel more gratified - and the book is packed with such interesting observations. Everything is backed with actual scientific experiments - the authors are not making guesses.
