A field experiment of the drivers of donations for development assistance
No full textCharitable organizations raise billions of dollars every year for their causes. The factors that drive donations of individuals have been extensively researched (Bachke et al. 2017; Bekkers and Wiepkings 2011; Ressler et al. 2021). Previous research has established that individuals donate more to identifiable than statistical victims, when issues are framed negatively, to mitigate natural than man-made disasters, to organizations who work in their proximity, when individuals shown in advertisement look sad, when beneficiaries are seen as different to them, and when overhead costs are low (Bhati and Hanson 2020). However, these studies are exclusively based on survey or lab experiments that tend to generalize poorly to the real world. Furthermore, findings tend to be generated by surveying US-based respondents. Our study overcomes these methodological problems by purchasing online advertisement on social media that seeks to motivate users to donate to charitable causes and randomly alter the content of advertisements to test the replicability of common findings in the literature in this real-world context and with respondents from different countries

Exploring the intersection of frailty, cancer, and sepsis and potentials for rehabilitation: A scoping review
No full textThe purpose of this project is to conduct a scoping review to explore the intersection of frailty, sepsis, and cancer and identify potentials for rehabilitation to improve survivor outcomes.
We will summarize the evidence on the effect of these conditions on one another, rehabilitation strategies used for individuals with these three conditions, and outcomes assessed. The Joanna Briggs Institute manual for scoping reviews, developed based on work by Arksey and O’Malley and Levac and colleages, will guide this review. This framework includes nine steps. Consultation of information scientists, stakeholders, and experts is a central part of this framework and will occur during the scoping review process. Reporting will be in accordance with the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews.
Title and abstract screening and full text review will be completed in duplicate to determine
eligibility for inclusion in the review. Data on study design and PICO components will be extracted. A qualitative synthesis will summarize findings
How portraying children within influencer content impacts followers’ engagement with momfluencers(‘ content), advertising value and advertising effectiveness according to young mothers
No full textBeing highly popular social media users, momfluencers give their audience personal insights into their lives as mothers. Given that influencer activities of mothers often revolve around subjects related to parenting, providing authentic content to their followers is also often thought to require the depiction of their family lives (i.e., influencer sharenting). Hereby, many personal details about their children are often being disclosed. Strikingly, research has already shown that influencer sharenting could lead to various risks (e.g., digital kidnapping, online pedophilia and the creation of a digital footprint). Momfluencers acknowledge these risks but find it challenging to take appropriate action. Moreover, influencer sharenting results in several positive rewards (e.g., being perceived as more authentic and receiving social and financial capital) and momfluencers are afraid to lose these rewards when deciding not to depict their children on their social media channels. Despite their concerns, however, academic research has not yet established whether the depiction of children can be considered a necessity to maximize engagement with momfluencers’ content, advertising value, and hence their advertising effectiveness. Therefore, this paper will examine if the online depiction of children within sponsored momfluencer content affects engagement, advertising value (i.e., informativeness, entertainment, and irritation), and advertising effectiveness (i.e., purchase intention and brand attitude)
