Abstract：
Charity organizations positively impact our societies but charity misconduct impairs people\'s willingness to contribute to charity and functional health systems on public health issues. This study investigates the impact of charity misconduct on people\'s willingness to offer help on public health issues and possible ways of reducing the negative impact brought by charity misconduct news through four studies (Ntotal = 1269). Results showed that charity misconduct on public health issues significantly reduced individuals\' willingness to offer help via both the charity involved with the misconduct and any charity they prefer (Study 1 and 2). Furthermore, news on charity misconduct reduced people\'s general willingness to help in contexts that did not involve charity (Study 3). Finally, presenting charity nonmisconduct news after charity misconduct news increases individuals\' willingness to offer help via the nonmisconduct charity (Study 4), suggesting a potential way to nudge people to provide help in the fight against the negative impact brought by charity misconduct news. The findings show the backfire of reporting charity misconduct news and have important implications for potential ways to facilitate people to offer help.
摘要：
慈善组织对我们的社会产生积极影响，但慈善不当行为损害了人们在公共卫生问题上为慈善和功能卫生系统做出贡献的意愿。本研究通过四项研究（Ntotal=1269），调查了慈善不当行为对人们在公共卫生问题上提供帮助的意愿的影响，以及减少慈善不当行为新闻带来的负面影响的可能方法。结果表明，慈善机构在公共卫生问题上的不当行为显着降低了个人通过与不当行为有关的慈善机构和他们喜欢的任何慈善机构提供帮助的意愿（研究1和2）。此外，关于慈善不当行为的新闻降低了人们在不涉及慈善的情况下提供帮助的普遍意愿（研究3）。最后,在慈善不当行为新闻增加个人通过非不当行为慈善机构提供帮助的意愿之后，呈现慈善非不当行为新闻（研究4），提出了一种潜在的方式来推动人们提供帮助，以对抗慈善不当行为新闻带来的负面影响。调查结果表明，报告慈善不当行为新闻的事与愿违，并对促进人们提供帮助的潜在方式具有重要意义。
