Listen "Why Too Many Charity Options Can Overwhelm Donors - Dr. Danit Ein-Gar Explains"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Danit Ein-Gar, Professor of Marketing at the Coller School of Management, Tel Aviv University, Israel, conducts pioneering research on giving and donation behavior. Her work, including "The Paradox of Choice in Giving: Why Donors Struggle to Decide," explores the psychological challenges donors face when presented with numerous charitable options.
She investigates how the abundance of choices in donation platforms can overwhelm donors, sometimes leading to decision paralysis or reduced charitable giving. Dr. Ein-Gar's research reveals two notable effects: the "proportion dominance" effect, where fewer choice options increase donation likelihood and amount, and the "global need perception" effect, where choosing more causes heightens donors' perception of global need and willingness to give. Her studies focus on how new digital giving platforms influence these donor decisions and the unique psychological processes involved in deciding whether and how much to give. Dr. Ein-Gar blends insights from consumer behavior, personality, and situational factors to address prosocial behavior in a modern context, also investigating related themes like self-control and information processing in donation decision-making.
