Figure 1. Prosocial intention in Experiment 1: The effect of salience types and recipient identity on allocation score in dictator game.Note: TMS, PMS and PSC represent the typical mortality salience group, the pandemic mortality salience group, and the pain salience control group, respectively. Bars represent the standard error for the corresponding group. ** pcorrected < 0.01, * pcorrected < 0.05.

Figure 2. Prosocial intention in Experiment 2: The effect of salience types and recipient identity on allocation score in dictator game.Note: EMS, PMS and PSC represent the earthquake mortality salience group, the pandemic mortality salience group, and the pain salience control group, respectively. Bars represent the standard error for the corresponding group. ** pcorrected < 0.01.

Figure 3. Prosocial intention in Experiment 3: The effect of salience types and helping situation on the volunteer willingness.Note: PNMS, PMS and PSC represent the pandemic non-mortality salience group, the pandemic mortality salience group, and the pain salience control group, respectively. FTF represents face-to-face prosocial scenarios and non-FTF represents non-face-to-face prosocial scenarios. * pcorrected < 0.05.
