HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015523.jpg

This document is a page (p. 311) from an academic text titled 'Morality Games,' discussing psychological and economic theories of reciprocity, self-image, framing effects, and anonymous giving. It bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, indicating it was part of a government investigation, likely collected due to the citation '(Rand & Epstein, 2014)' regarding altruism. The text analyzes why humans perform pro-social acts even when no reciprocation is possible, citing various evolutionary psychology studies.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015520.jpg

This document is page 308 of an academic paper (authored by M. Hoffman et al.) discussing the psychology of charitable giving, focusing on 'Magnitude of the Problem' and 'Observability.' It argues that donors are often motivated by social rewards and reputational concerns rather than the actual efficacy of their donations, citing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and various behavioral studies. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, suggesting it was included in a document production for a congressional investigation, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's connections to academia (e.g., MIT/Harvard).
