Out of the blue, I get an email from Princeton asking me to present my work at a by-invitation-only conference on the Psychology of Charitable Giving. That's coming up in July. My reactions to this upcoming event are a mixture of joy, pride and mind-numbing fear. I decided that I needed to do a more extensive literature review on charitable giving.
First, I created a journal. This is important to keep track of what I did and need to do.
Here is the Journal.

Abstract:
Marketing concepts such as corporate identity, image, and branding are important strategies for nonprofit organizations. In particular, brand personality has been advocated by practitioners but has not been empirically investigated in the nonprofit context. According to social exchange theory and trust, the authors argue that nonprofit stakeholders perceive nonprofit organizations at an abstract level because of the organizations' intangibility and social ideals. This study develops and refines a parsimonious measure of brand personality specifically for the nonprofit context. The authors conduct a series of six multimethod studies of nonprofit stakeholders to validate the role of brand personality in nonprofit organizations. The results yield four dimensions of brand personality for nonprofits: integrity, nurturance, sophistication, and ruggedness. Thus, current and potential donors ascribe personality traits to nonprofit organizations and differentiate between nonprofits on the basis of the organizations' personality. Finally, nonprofit brand personality may influence potential donors' likelihood to contribute. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)(from the journal abstract)

A multidisciplinary model of monetary donations to charitable organizations (donations, volunteerism)
Abstract:
The main purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence a person to donate to a charitable organization using a multi-disciplinary approach. Economic (permanent income hypothesis), sociological (symbolic interactionism), and psychological (self extension) theories were used in order to explain charitable giving. To test the hypotheses the 1992 Survey of Consumer Finance and 1994 Giving and Volunteering surveys were used. Logistic regression and tobit procedures were conducted to examine lifecycle and demographic characteristics of donors and non/donors. The results of the regression models reveal that demographic and financial characteristics are good indicators of the amount given to a charity. A structural equation model on the likelihood of a person donating to charity was developed and tested. The results indicated that income and education were good indicators of the likelihood of someone being a donor. Further education was also positively and significantly related to being a volunteer. Being affiliated with a religious organization and having pro-social experiences as a youth were also positively and significantly related to the likelihood of being a donor. Religious affiliation, past pro-social experiences, and favorable attitudes toward charitable organizations were statistically significant and positively related to being a volunteer. Age was not significantly related to the likelihood of donating, volunteering or holding positive attitudes regarding charities. This finding warrants further research into the economic status of elderly persons who do and do not donate, other informal types of helping behavior that older persons participate in that may serve as substitutes, and general cohort effects regarding attitudes toward charitable organizations. Volunteerism was found to be statistically significant and positively related to donating to charity. The results of the structural equation model support the conjecture that the decision to donat (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)

As I was searching PsychInfo I noticed that a subject term "DE" was charitable behavior. After finishing one search I searched "charitable behavior." It had over 100 hits, so I looked just for literature reviews (AND MR "literature reviews"). Whenever I'm looking at a new area I always look for a lit review - I let someone else introduce me to the area.
Notice that I listed:
- what psychinfo searches I did
- what I ordered from interlibrary loan (ILL) - sometimes order stuff that never comes and I need to know what I didn't get - I'll try to get it from the author or some other way
- what I tried to download but didn't get
- and what I should do next.
I didn't list the articles which were online and I successfully downloaded. Those will be printed and I'll read them and write a paragraph description of them. These descriptions will help me make sense of what I am reading and will probably become parts of the introduction of my paper.
