Paper Abstract:
|
This study investigates the relationship between public token acts of online support and prosocial behavioral intentions,
shedding light on the potential mediating influences that contribute to this intricate interplay. It focuses on the determinants
of prosocial behavioral intentions toward three specific groups of immigrants who came to Israel after Russia's invasion of
Ukraine in 2022: asylum seekers from Ukraine, immigrant citizens repatriated from Ukraine, and immigrant citizens
repatriated from Russia. The data were collected via a survey of 847 social media users in Israel. The study revealed that
the higher the frequency of token acts of online support of prosocial content in social media, the higher perspective-taking
and emotional concerns were reported by respondents. High emotional concern, in turn, was associated with higher
prosocial behavioral intentions. In general, the more actively people engage with prosocial content on social media, the
higher are their prosocial behavioral intentions. |
