Zusammenfassung

This paper studies the role of individuals’ sociodemographic characteristics and social preferences on generous behaviour. Using a heterogeneous sample (n=792), representative of Granada city and the dictator game, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the decision to donate money to other anonymous people and the decision of how much to donate. Our results indicate that the determinants that encourage an individual to participate (i.e. donate) and to increase participation (donate more) are different. These results may be of great interest for organizations and activities that need the voluntary participation of third parties.
