Another reason for giving, which has only really been observed in the last few years, is something that's been dubbed rage donating.
Ever wondered why you feel compelled to donate to some causes but not others? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives deep into the fascinating quirks of psychology that drive our charitable giving. Hosted by Lynne Malcolm, the episode features expert interviews that shed light on the myriad factors influencing our decisions to give—or not.
From the impact of social identities and the phenomenon of 'rage donating' to the moral arguments for ending poverty, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of what makes us open our wallets. The discussion also touches on why we might hesitate to support charities working overseas and the social rewards that come with giving. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of your own giving behaviors and what you can do to make a more meaningful impact.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the complexities of human generosity.
