The Psychology of Prosocial Behavior
Group Processes, Intergroup Relations, and Helping
The study of helping is among the key issues of social psychological research. It relates to fundamental questions about human nature (such as, are humans capable of pure altruism or is their motivation to act always egoistic?) and to pressing social problems.
The Psychology of Prosocial Behavior provides original contributions that examine current perspectives and promising directions for future research on helping behaviors and related core issues. With an emphasis on helping in the context of social groups and large organizations, this volume presents a new and distinctive perspective that links research on prosocial behavior to interventions designed to foster helping in real-world settings.
