Self image and self-signaling motives have long been proposed as a driver of pro-social behavior in psychology, and has recently been introduced in economic models. We develop a self-signaling model to rationalize the behavioral finding that individuals prefer risky outcomes to certain outcomes in the domain of charitable giving. We then propose a novel experimental framework to discriminate models prosocial behavior within this choice domain
