Biography

I am a social psychologist located at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. My interest is in what leads individuals to contribute to different charitable organizations. In particular, I am interested in examining how donations are influenced by the role of perceived connection of donors with those who are helped by charities, as well as how threats to the perceived orderly and controllable nature of the world spur people to regain control through philanthropic behaviour.
