Study 2 - Moral Foundations and Other-Regarding Behavior - Donations to Charity

Data used in Study 2 of the paper "On the Determinants of Other-Regarding Behavior: Field Tests of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire" by O'Grady, Vandegrift, Wolek and Burr. The dataset connects an individual's responses to the Moral Foundations Questionnaire with their decision to donate their bonus to charity in an economic game where any contributions to charity are matched. We hired 591 unique U.S. participants (workers) from Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) online labor market to complete the survey. Sixty-eight participants in the data set failed attention checks resulting in a 523 usable observations in Study 2. Study 2a includes 118 observations (Condition 1 n=36, Condition 2 n=40, Condition 3 n=42) with ages ranging from 22 to 71 (M=39.1, SD=11.0). Forty-three percent reported their gender as female and 81% reported their race as white. Study 2b includes 86 observations (Condition 4 n=43, Condition 5 n=43) aged 21 to 63 (M=37.8, SD=10.2), 40% female, and 84% white. Study 2c includes 319 observations (Condition 6 n=108, Condition 7 n=102, Condition 8 n=109) aged 24 to 70 (M=39.9, SD=10.4), 52% female, and 79% white. Version 3 Update: The "Final" subfolder now contains the processed dataset in CSV format as well as a codebook of variable descriptions.
