Notes. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Regressions (3)-(4) and (7)-(8) include the following control variables: father’s education, mother’s education, familiarity with World Vision, U.S. born, international news, non-white, non-heterosexual, expected student loan debt and time spent outside U.S. We also perform the same regressions with the probability of donating as our dependent variable but find no statistically significant gender differences in the probability of donating. Sample sizes are smaller when including the controls because some students did not answer all of the additional survey questions.
