EAG 2018 SF: Psychology of effective altruism (Stefan Schubert)

Charitable giving is popular and substantial, but many donors do not choose to donate to highly effective causes. In this talk, Dr. Stefan Schubert explores some possible reasons why, as well as an overview of recent scientific studies on the subject. He also explores what we can do, as effective altruists, to promote effective giving in the world.
