“…When there is no one identifiable main beneficiary, categories were coded according to the general profile of beneficiaries depicted in the video. Specifically, videos were coded for (adapted from Greenwood & Jenkins, 2015), age (adapted from Greenwood & Jenkins, 2015), and physical appearance (adapted from Ali et al, 2013). Beneficiary emotions, namely happy, sad, fearful, angry, or expressionless (adapted from Ali et al, 2013;Zhang & Hellmueller, 2017) were coded at first and last appearance.…”

“…To prevent potential confound with the emotion evoked due to viewing of the video, coders -verbal cues (e.g., smiling, crying) to determine the emotion. Beneficiary presence was coded based on the significance of the beneficiary character in the video according to screen time (adapted from Ali et al, 2013), where minor presence refers to beneficiaries having small roles, medium presence refers to beneficiaries having significant roles but shared screen time with other nonbeneficiary characters, and major presence refers to beneficiaries having a main role with most of the screen time. Beneficiary identifiability was coded based on the amount of personal identity given to beneficiaries, such as a name, occupation, and other details about their lives (adapted from Bleiker et al, 2013;Gellen & Lowe, 2020), whereas beneficiary voice is about the number of speaking lines beneficiaries actions in the video, where low agency refers to beneficiaries doing nothing, medium agency refers to beneficiaries involved in some activity (for example, fetching water, playing soccer), and high agency refers to beneficiaries depicted as independent and working towards specific aspirations.…”

“…Additionally, characters who merely appeal to viewers for support without any indication of providing aid to beneficiaries are not considered saviours (e.g., celebrities who only describe the work done by the organisation or ask audiences to donate). Specifically, videos were coded for saviour presence, coded in a similar manner as beneficiary presence (adapted from Ali et al, 2013). Saviour group identity was coded based on whether the saviour depicted belonged to the same group as the beneficiaries (Batziou, 2011).…”

Next, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr Nuri Kim, who is everything I could ask for in a mentor. Thank you for encouraging me, supporting me, and teaching me in these short two years. You pushed me to achieve even more than what I thought I was capable of, and as a result I have accomplished a lot more than what I had set out to do during this time. You always believed in me, and taught me to believe in myself. I am still learning how to be a better scholar, but you have helped me to grow significantly towards this goal.I would also like to thank the wonderful people at WKW. Professors here were not only the most amazing and brilliant teachers, but also my greatest role models.
