This thesis aims to investigate the influence of political distance on individual giving behaviour. Employing a modified dictator game, participants engage in four iterations of the dictator game, wherein the treatment variation lies in alterations of the hypothetical recipient's political orientation.
The choice set of the dictator game expands beyond giving choices to include the option to take.
I find that political distance has a significant effect on the giving behaviour in the dictator game. Through this research, I seek to illuminate the relationship between political distance and decision-making behaviours in non-political contexts.
