Abstract
We provide an experimental test of the role of self-signaling in decisions to do-
nate to charity. Our data strongly supports the theoretical prediction of a non-
monotonic, hill-shaped relationship between self-confidence, proxied by the Social
Potency personality trait, and prosocial behavior motivated by image concerns.
Making self-image concerns more salient can more than double donations by indi-
viduals with medium self-confidence.
