What does it mean to be charitable? Do we have to be charitable all the time? In this experiment, we hand over $50 to each participant but attached to each bill is a choice: Either the person decides to keep the money for themselves or donate it to a charity of their choosing. It feels good to give back but then again…$50 is $50.
If you were given $50, would you donate it or keep it? Give it to a good cause or put it toward those bills you stress about? Neither answer is right or wrong, but one could have a greater effect on your happiness.
Here is the study we based this experiment on:
