It connects philanthropic studies research with theoretical developments in motivations for giving in economics, nonprofit management, nonprofit marketing, consumer behavior, and social psychology. It utilizes personal observations as well as quantitative methods including experiments and surveys on multiple samples including donors, undergraduate students and samples of the U.S. population. It generates actionable and efficacious knowledge to improve the practice of philanthropy. It contributes to the formation and growth of the young field called philanthropic studies - in theory, in methodology and in practice. This thesis includes five chapters. Chapter I will explain how the research question, philosophy and methodology are selected. This discussion will be for the entire thesis. Specific research questions, hypotheses, research designs, findings and implications will be explained in the subsequent chapters. Chapter II demonstrates the immediate and long-term effects of social information on donations and its boundary conditions in existing nonprofit donors in two field experiments. Chapter III shows that the psychological mechanism through which social information influences subsequent giving is perceived descriptive social norms in one field survey of donors and one laboratory experiment on undergraduate students. Chapter IV investigates how social identity congruency moderates the effect of social information on donations. It reports three field experiments on donors and samples of the general U.S. population and two laboratory experiments on undergraduate students. It shows that donors give more money to a public radio station if told that a previous donor with a similar identity also made a large contribution. This effect is more likely to occur when donors have high collective identity esteem and when attention is focused on others. Each chapter provides original fundraising techniques developed from these studies. Chapter V concludes with a discussion of the theoretical, methodological and practical contributions of this thesis and suggests directions for future research in philanthropic studies, and philanthropic psychology in particular.Item Freire’s view of a progressive and humanistic education: Implications for medical education(Taylor & Francis, 2017-07-03) Torre, Dario; Groce, Victoria; Gunderman, Richard; Kanter, John; Durning, Steven; Kanter, Steven; Medicine, School of MedicineThis article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Brazilian educator Paulo Freire argues that the purpose of education is to liberate human potential and, thus, is much more than a teacher simply depositing information into the mind of a learner. His ideas are important to medical education because 1) they strengthen the philosophical underpinning of practices in medical education (for example, Freire's dialogical approach to learning vis-à-vis the banking model of education adds philosophic strength to the use of problem-based learning as a primary learning modality); 2) they encourage medical educators to confront directly the tension between teaching for conformity, which many would argue is key to performing a good and reliable physical examination, and teaching to liberate human potential, which is critical to preparing physicians to question current assumptions, practices, and knowledge; and 3) they encourage expanded thought about approaches to medical education, for example in the choice of pedagogical method, defining the role of the educator, and the use of experiences like service learning.Item Good intentions and poor results – John Steinbeck’s lessons on humanitarian aid(The Conversation US, Inc., 2015-03-25) Gunderman, Richard; Klopp, Richard; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineItem The History of Medicine: You Can't See the Present or the Future Unless You Have Seen the Past(2014-09-30) Gunderman, RichardUnderstanding the importance of the history of medicine to better serve the future.Item Hospitalists and the Decline of Comprehensive Care(2016-09) Gunderman, Richard; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem Is It Time for Radiology to Embrace Commoditization?(Elsevier, 2016-06) Gunderman, Richard; Dodson, Sean; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem Is joy being sucked out of your work place?
