Is a powerful person more or less generous than a powerless person in terms of charitable giving request? In this work, we argue that power's effect on charitable giving depends on donation target. Across two studies, having high power decreased donation to a specific person, whereas having high power increased donation to a charitable organization. Moreover, the effect of power on donation across donation targets was mediated by the felt social distance toward the population in need. We discuss the theoretical implications for contemporary debates about power's effects and practical implications of power for designing effective donation appeals.

权力与捐赠目标对慈善捐赠的交互作用

在慈善捐赠请求方面，有权势的人比无权势的人更慷慨还是更不慷慨？在这项工作中，我们认为权力对慈善捐赠的影响取决于捐赠目标。在两项研究中，拥有高权力会减少对特定人的捐赠，而拥有高权力会增加对慈善组织的捐赠。此外，权力对跨捐赠目标的捐赠的影响是由与有需要的人群的社会距离所介导的。我们讨论了当代关于权力影响的辩论的理论意义和权力对设计有效捐赠呼吁的实际意义。
