| Abstract: | This study explored the role of affective vs. deliberative information processing (hereafter as: i-proc.) in the genesis and use of emotional reactions in decisions to provide financial aid to people in distress. In two studies, it is examined whether i-proc. mode influenced participants' donations, affective reactions, and the relationship btw. the two. I-proc. is manipulated by a priming procedure and a cognitive load paradigm. Participants' empathic emotions are assessed by self-reported sympathy, compassion, and distress. In addition, it is measured how much better a donation would make participants feel and their anticipated regret for not donating etc. |
