Helping relief campaigns: Social cognitive factors underlying important issues using structural equation modelling

Natural disasters happening around the world have caused a huge burden on local and international charities in recent years. This study tended to examine and explore factors, which cause the migration of people to charitable behaviour based on Bandura’s social cognitive theory. By studying the Bandu...
