Abstract:

The current study examined whether donating one’s organs as social responsibility and not donating one’s organs as individual right influenced two behavioral intentions critical to organ donation: intention to enroll in an organ donor registry and to engage in family discussion about becoming an organ donor. In addition, the current study examined whether Caucasian Americans and Asian Americans differed in how strongly social responsibility and individual right were related to organ donation intentions. Results showed that belief on organ donation as social responsibility was a significant predictor of intention to enroll in a donor registry, but that the influence of social responsibility on intention to enroll was stronger for Caucasian Americans than for Asian Americans. On the other hand, keeping organs as individual right was negatively associated with the intention to enroll only among Asian Americans, but not among Caucasian Americans. Regarding intention to engage in family discussion, only social responsibility was a significant positive predictor with no difference between Caucasian Americans and Asian Americans. Interpretation of results and implications for communication campaigns are discussed.
