我们研究了文化、道德话语和参与亲社会行为的动机对捐助者积极影响的影响。来自三种文化（日本、罗马尼亚和美国）的参与者回答了他们可以为不同目标做出小小的善举的场景。对于来自日本的参与者以及对社区道德有较高认可的个人，观察到执行善意行为的代理动机和义务动机之间以及义务动机和积极情感之间的关系更强。无论关系类型如何，参与亲社会行为的代理动机与捐助者的积极影响相关。
We investigated the effect of culture, moral discourse, and motivation to engage in prosocial behavior on benefactors' positive affect. Participants from three cultures (Japan, Romania, and the United States) responded to scenarios in which they could perform small acts of kindness for different targets. A stronger relationship between agentic and obligated motivation to perform acts of kindness, as well as between obligated motivation and positive affect, was observed for participants from Japan, and for individuals with higher endorsement of the Community Ethic. Agentic motivation to engage in prosocial behavior was related to benefactors' positive affect, regardless of relationship type.
