Abstract
The relationship between wealth and generosity has been studied in the past, but has resulted in mixed result and competing theories. Meanwhile most research has been done within a WEIRD-context (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic). The goal of this thesis was to find out what the relationship is between wealth and generosity within a non-WEIRD context, specifically Rural Colombia. The dataset used was collected by Redhead and colleagues. It contains data from four different villages. Generosity was measured with the RICH economic allocation game, a method that yields data embedded within the community itself. The variables sex, age, kinship and friendship were including for a more in depth analysis. Results were mostly inconclusive and a network analysis is recommended for future research.
