DESCRIPTION:How much do people believe that they and others should donate 
 to charity? Across four studies\, we find evidence of reference dependence
  in how individuals evaluate how much those who earn a given income should
  donate to charity. Expected donation obligations depend not just on how m
 uch a target individual earns\, but also on how much more or less the eval
 uator earns relative to that target. Specifically\, we find that individua
 ls believe those wealthier than them have more spare money\, and therefore
  should donate more to charity\, than what those richer others evaluate fo
 r themselves. Conversely\, individuals believe those poorer than them have
  less spare money\, and therefore should donate less to charity\, than wha
 t those poorer others evaluate for themselves. These judgments hold regard
 less of whether participants evaluate themselves if they earned more money
  or evaluate others who earn different incomes from the self. Across all i
 ncomes assessed\, we find that people pass donation obligations onto wealt
 hier others\, who in turn\, pass on donation obligations onto even wealthi
 er others.
