Abstract
Reward and donation crowdfunding both leverage backers' prosocial tendencies, however they elicit differing motivations and behavioral patterns. This raises an intricate, yet underexplored question: How do emotional and cognitive values differently shape backer behavior across these seemingly similar, but fundamentally distinct platforms? Utilizing the Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (CEST), our study delves into the distinct impacts of experiential and cognitive values on project success across reward and donation crowdfunding. Despite the platforms' apparent similarities, our data analysis uncovers that the role of cognitive and experiential elements in driving crowd participation significantly diverges based on the platform type. Theoretically, this study expands the applicability of CEST to the crowdfunding domain, shedding light on how cognitive and experiential values intersect with platform-specific backer motivations to influence project success. Practically, our findings suggest that project founders should carefully tailor the cognitive and experiential elements in their project descriptions to better align with the motivational drivers prevalent on the specific crowdfunding platform they are utilizing.
