In other words,the identifiability of victim is an important factor affecting people’s pro-social behaviors,while previous research on the effects of the victims on pro-social behaviors were taken mainly in the western individualistic culture background,but in our more collectivist and interdependent cultural background,the existence of this phenomenon has not confirmed through the empirical research.

Specific research procedures included:firstly,a professionally trained graduate student of psychology instructed participants completed Dispositional Empathy Scale. Secondly,after the completion of Dispositional Empathy Scale,the college students would be randomly divided into two groups,and then respectively listened to and read the materials of the identifiable and unidentifiable victim conditions. Once again,after listening to and reading the materials,the college students were asked to evaluate their emotional reactions. Finally, the experimenter let the participants to assess their willingness of donation on a 7-point score. The results shows that:(1)the identifiability of victims affected pro-social behaviors of college students,that is,under our collectivist cultural backgrounds,identifiable victim effect still existed;(2) for the students with low level of empathic tendency,the victim’s identifiability could not influence their
