“…In addition, Brooks and Lewis (2001) find that people who express less confidence in the government (i.e., presumably conservatives) are more likely to give time and money to both religious and nonreligious nonprofits than those who express a great deal of confidence. Still another study shows liberals to be less likely than conservatives to donate money but more likely to express willingness to pay taxes toward helping the needy (Kim, Jung, and Oh 2008).…”

Previous research on charitable giving has identified a significant relationship between political conservatism and greater financial giving to charitable causes. Yet that research has not adequately explored the important role of religion in that relationship, nor differences in financial giving targets (i.e., religious congregations, noncongregational religious organizations, and nonreligious organizations). Support for competing theories concerning political ideology, religious practice, and charitable financial giving is assessed using data from the Panel Study on American Ethnicity and Religion (PS-ARE). For both religious and nonreligious giving, the effect of political ideology is completely mediated by participation in religious and civic practices. These findings support recent arguments on "practice theory" in cultural sociology and suggest that it is less the effect of ideology than of active participation in religious, political, and community organizations that explains Americans' financial giving to religious and nonreligious organizations.

“…Brooks and Lewis () also find that individuals who express less confidence in the government— presumably more politically conservative individuals—tend to give more of their time and money to both religious and secular nonprofit organizations than people who report more confidence in government. In part, these patterns may be because liberals are less likely to donate money than conservatives, but liberals express a greater willingness to pay higher taxes in order to support policies or programs designed to help the needy (Kim, Jung, and Oh ). Overall, while our reading of the literature suggests that prior findings are somewhat mixed, there does seem to be a slight tilt toward an “empathy gap” between liberals and conservatives.…”

Is political orientation associated with self-reported empathy? Popular caricatures frame political orientation in terms of the "heartless conservative" and the "bleeding heart liberal." Yet, previous research has produced findings that present mixed evidence to support these caricatures. Using data from the 2004 General Social Survey, analyses show that the caricatures of the caring liberal and the cold-hearted conservative are supported by results for empathy-in which conservatives have lower levels of empathy than liberals-but this pattern holds only when individuals also have low levels of religiosity. In the context of high religiosity, self-identified conservatives do not have lower empathy than self-identified liberals, net of a host of sociodemographic characteristics. Our observations demonstrate that patterns in empathy across political orientation are evident only when levels of different forms of religiosity are considered.

“…Specifically, for disaster situations (i.e. recovery situation), factors reported to have no influence on a donor's decision were individual's attitudes on the government's role 27 . Another study report that expressed positive emotions are associated with donations and volunteering particularly those that focus on social problems, specifically social bonding 28 .…”

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic saw the involvement of many health non-governmental organisations (NGO) with volunteering work to help reduce the burden of healthcare workers (HCW). IMAM Response and Relief Team (IMARET) is one which is a chapter under the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM); which is also under the umbrella of the Federations of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA). IMARET often aids HCWs during natural and manmade disasters to help reduce their burden during challenging times by providing manpower, equipment, and logistical assistance. IMARET utilizes social media (SM) for spreading information on their activities to the public, like the COVID-19 fundraising efforts. The objective of this research is to determine the correlation between their Facebook activities and fundraising outcome. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study of Facebook posts and its engagement with Billplz, an online payment platform focused during the initial COVID-19 fundraising effort. Results and Discussion: During the study period, we report 346 Facebook posts with a median (IQR) of 8.00 (6.00,9.00) posts per day. As many as 4,823 donations, median (IQR) at RM34.50(18.75,86.00) was received per day. RM3425,50 (USD 830.52) (1369.00, 8376.25) was collected per day. ‘Organic Likes’ correlated significantly with the number of donations (r=0.419,p=0.006) and amount received (r=0.355,p=0.021). Both ‘Post Reach’ and ‘Shares’ significantly correlated with the number of donations (r=0.405,p=0.008)(r=0.515,p<0.01)and amount received (r=0.373,p=0.015) (r=0.453,p=0.003) respectively. Conclusion: The number of likes, reach and shares significantly correlated with the number and amount of donations received during the initial phase of the IMARET COVID-19 fundraising effort Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(5) 2021 p.148-154
