The table reports odds ratios and p values (in brackets) from random-intercept logistic regression models for A) seeds and invitees in the no-observation treatment by number of donated invitations received; B) seeds in the observation and no-observation treatments by number of donated invitations observed; C) seeds in the observation treatment by number of donated invitations observed; and D) seeds and invitees in the observation treatment by number of donated invitations observed by invitees compared to seeds. Results show that receiving and observing donations initially increases the willingness to help others, and that invitees are less susceptible to a subsequent decline in helping.
