This study was developed from the idea that giving has been interpreted exclusively as a social selection based on reasonal thinking. The purpose of the presented study was to investigate the hypothesis that giving was a habitus of citizen, based on Bourdieu theory of social setting and habitus. For that purpose, this study analyzed the secondary data from KGSS 2011 through SEM. Result revealed that the goodness of fit for the proposed structural model was high. Also, level of virtue as civizen and social participation as citizen were significantly associated with level of giving, supporting the hypothesis that giving was a hibitus of citizen.
