Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how language proficiency, specifically in Mandarin, affects individuals' donation behaviors using data from the 2012 China General Social Survey.
- Results show that higher Mandarin proficiency positively influences the likelihood of individual donations, particularly among males, southern residents, and those from rural areas.
- The relationship is mediated by factors such as perceived social responsibility and subjective social status, suggesting that improving language skills can enhance prosocial behavior and contribute to social welfare policies in China.
