Personal stories and charitable giving topic of Focus on FacultyTraci Freling, associate professor of marketing, and Devin Lunt, marketing Ph.D. candidate, will discuss influences on charitable donations at the lecture at noon Wednesday, Nov. 18, on the sixth floor of Central Library. The tendency for people to offer greater aid to a specific, identifiable person who is suffering rather than to a large, abstract group with the same need is called the “identifiable victim effect” (IVE). Dr. Freling and Lunt will explain how the IVE affects potential donors’ inclination to help those in need. According to their research, the IVE influences giving when the victim is vividly depicted, blameless in the situation, and different from the potential donor. Specific differences such as class, race, age, and other factors can greatly affect donor generosity. Focus on Faculty is free and open to the public. A reception follows the lecture.
