The results from a survey of 46,000 individuals in 68 countries indicate that a tendency towards altruism is less prevalent among those with conservative ideologies. A recent study conducted by researchers from IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and Universit
A new study reveals that left-leaning individuals are generally more altruistic and more likely to be generous internationally, while right-leaning people tend to be more altruistic towards their own country. The study also found that the quality of national governance impacts generosity, with individuals in countries with high-quality governance exhibiting different behaviors based on their political orientation.
What may seem like a stereotypical assumption is actually a trend observed globally through a survey spanning 68 countries., Veronica Pizziol and colleagues analyzed the data collected on more than 46,000 participants in 68 countries, between April and May 2020. The survey was organized by the International Collaboration on the Social and Moral Psychology of, which examines psychological factors underlying the attitudes and behavioral intentions related to COVID-19.
Hence, three different types of generosity were taken into consideration and analyzed: one oriented toward the native country, having its roots in localism, named national generosity; the second, more universalistic, oriented beyond the national boundaries and toward the international community, called international generosity; the third, the sum of the two, identifying generosity in general.
In particular, in countries with good quality of institutions, individuals tend to increase self-interest and decrease national generosity . Instead, right- and left-leaning individuals adopt opposite behaviors toward an international charity when the quality of governance increases: right-leaning individuals tend to donate less while left-leaning individuals tend to donate more.
