Over the past decade, the world has faced an unprecedented refugee crisis. The largenumber of incoming refugees represents a challenge for hostsocieties and its citizenstriggering reactions from a supportive welcome to brusque rejection and hostile behaviortoward refugees. In a pre-registered study, we investigated factors that could promotealtruistic behavior in fully incentivized one-shot Dictator Game toward various receivergroups including refugees. We find that host citizens behavemore altruistically towardrefugees and other receiver groups if they (a) share a local identity with them (i.e., live in thesame city), and (b) perceive them to be close (to the self) andwarm-hearted. Moreover,citizens that are (c) generally more prosocial and hold a more left-wing political orientationare more willing to give. Unexpectedly, from a theoretical point of view, altruistic givingtoward refugees was not influenced in the predicted direction by a shared student identity,competition and perceived income differences (although the latter effect was significantwhen considering all receiver groups). For shared student identity we even observe areduction of altruistic behavior, while the opposite effect was predicted. We discussimplications for public policies for successful refugee helping and integration.

This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
