The effects of norms and self-monitoring on helping behavior

چکیده
A scenario-based experiment was used to test five hypotheses concerning group and individual predictors of individual intentions to perform helping behavior in a group.

The findings underscore the value of considering the group context in which helping behavior operates. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
