Wann helfen wir einander? Befunde zur Bedeutung der Gruppenzugehörigkeit

摘要

How are prosocial behavior and group membership connected? Based on the theory of social identity social psychologists found: People help each other when they feel they belong to the same group (In-Group helping). Out-Group helping occours too, but for different, if you wish: selfish, reasons. To the extent one can manipulate the feeling of belonging it is possible to change the willingsness to help others.
