bobulate: A pair of French researchers propose that adding the text “loving” to a collection box almost doubled the amount of money raised: Some [collection] boxes had this additional text in French just below the money slot: “DONATING=LOVING”; others had the text “DONATING=HELPING”; whilst others had no further text below the slot. …. The text on the donation boxes made a profound difference....
