DOI: 10.1177/014616727800400428 Exploring the Generalizability of Donor-Recipient Similarity Effects
University of Connecticut
Tel-Aviv University Past research (e.g., Fisher & Nadler, 1974) has shown that receiving aid from an attitudinally similar donor is a poten- tially self-threatening experience, while aid from an attitudinally dissimilar donor contains more potential for self-support. The present experiment explored the generalizability of the earlier findings across dimensions of similarity and type of task, and obtained the same pattern of results.
