Summary: Using the data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies, this paper examines the influence of the Big Five personality traits on household charitable donations. The results show that conscientiousness and openness of the household head have a significant positive impact on social donations. The study also finds that the positive effect of openness on charitable donations weakens as the level of household donations increases, and this effect exhibits nonlinear and life-cycle characteristics.

Summary: This study empirically examines the relationship between corporate environmental irresponsibility, charitable donations, and financial performance in heavily polluting industries in China. The results demonstrate that higher levels of environmental irresponsibility negatively impact financial performance, but charitable donations can mitigate this negative effect. The study sheds light on the motivations behind firms neglecting environmental responsibilities while engaging in charitable activities, and provides theoretical foundation and policy recommendations to address imbalances in corporate social responsibility.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the key relationships in the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and tested its predictive utility for various forms of charitable giving. The results showed moderate-to-strong associations between TPB variables and donation intentions and behavior. Perceived behavioral control and moral norm were found to be the strongest predictors of intention, while intention was a stronger predictor of behavior than perceived behavioral control. The TPB variables explained a significant amount of variance in intention and behavior, highlighting their importance for understanding and promoting charitable giving.

Summary: The experiment shows that completing the task in groups increases both individual and group donations in terms of intensity and scope. However, the effect of donating as part of a group is related to group identity.

Summary: This study explores unethical behaviors, referred to as original sin, during the privatization process and their impact on corporate donations in China. The findings suggest that enterprises are more actively and deeply engaged in donations when they are guilty of specific types of misconduct, including downward earnings management, insider trading, and tunnelling. This phenomenon is particularly significant in regions with lower levels of non-state economic development.

Summary: Teacher-donors usually have a higher donation rate and lower attrition rate on charitable crowdfunding platforms, while donors acquired through teacher referral tend to have lower contribution and attrition rates. Prosocial marketing programs like charity gift cards and donation matching offer may have both positive and negative effects on donor retention, impacting donors' contribution rate positively while increasing their attrition rate significantly.

Summary: Food insecurity is linked to chronic disease and poor dietary intake. The charitable food system in the United States plays a crucial role in providing food for low-income households. However, there is a lack of consistency in defining and tracking the nutritional quality of food within this system. In response, a panel of experts developed evidence-based nutrition standards to guide food sourcing and supply. This paper outlines their approach and explores the barriers and opportunities in implementing these standards.

Summary: Chatbots have become popular in health services and communications, but few studies have evaluated their effectiveness in improving vaccine confidence and acceptance. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore, comparing the effects of COVID-19 vaccine chatbots on confidence and acceptance among unvaccinated individuals. The results showed mixed success, with decreased confidence in vaccine effectiveness in Thailand, decreased vaccine acceptance in Hong Kong, and decreased vaccine confidence in safety in Singapore. Process evaluation indicated support for vaccine chatbots, but further studies are needed to link chatbot usage and real-world vaccine uptake.

Summary: This study examined the charitable giving approaches of midlevel donors and their giving level to effective organizations. The results indicated that midlevel donors were more likely to give to organizations due to personal connections or prior research, while caring about a cause or issue positively influenced their giving to organizations viewed as effective. Understanding the organization's work and the broader causes or issues were not significant factors in their decision to give.

Summary: The U.S. Court ruled against major U.S. tobacco companies for ethical breaches over a 50-year period and mandated a corrective advertising campaign. However, the study found that the campaign did not effectively change smokers' or non-smokers' antismoking beliefs. Differences were observed between smokers and non-smokers, with non-smokers holding stronger beliefs about the harmful effects of smoking.

Summary: There is an association between political orientation and vaccine uptake and choice. In Hungary, those supporting the government or on the political right were more willing to be vaccinated, especially with government approved vaccines. In Thailand, vaccinated individuals reported greater trust in the government, with preference for AstraZeneca associated with support for pro-government parties and preference for Pfizer with anti-government attitudes.

Summary: The opioid crisis in the United States has resulted in a significant number of deaths and is expected to continue to rise. Recent settlements in litigation have provided access to previously confidential corporate documents related to the opioid industry. These documents offer insights into the operations and strategies of manufacturers and other actors in the opioid supply chain. The availability of these documents is important for researching the causes and effects of the opioid crisis, as well as understanding the role of corporate actors in public health outcomes.
