The past few decades of behavioral science scholarship has yielded countless insights into the psychology of charitable giving. The insights from this literature have helped nonprofit organizations and government institutions gain more resources to better help those in need around the world. However, studying the giver's perspective is only one side of the coin. In order to maximize the effectiveness of aid ventures, all individuals in need of help with access to it should actually take-up and use the aid made available to them. Unfortunately, recent scholarship from marketing and behavioral development economics has demonstrated that this is often not the case (what has been coined the last mile problem). Very little scholarship has explored why the last mile problem occurs from a psychological perspective (i.e., psychology of charitable receiving). Across four chapters, the present dissertation demonstrates how a better understanding of recipients' psychological reactions to and perceptions of different aid opportunities can unlock previously untapped advances in global aid effectiveness. First, Chapter 1 proposes a novel theory of aid utility, arguing that aid's resource utility (i.e., the impact of the aid itself) and identity utility (i.e., the impact being a person who receives aid on one's perceived self and social identity) together inform its perceived utility. Chapters 2 and 3 provide empirical demonstrations of how the way we give and what we give, respectively, impact recipients' psychological responses to the aid, subsequently, impacting (continued) aid take-up and knowledge spread of the aid opportunity. Finally, Chapter 4 develops and validates a novel scale (the Aid Recipient Identity Scale; ARISE) that captures trait-level individual differences in how being someone who receives help-broadly construed-impacts one's perceived identity. I hope that the findings from this dissertation will encourage social scientists, policymakers, and practitioners within non-profit organizations to shift their attention towards the psychology of charitable receiving, as an effort to both improve recipients' psychological experiences when receiving aid and help get effective aid into the hands of all people who need the help and have access to such opportunities.{A0}
