Abstract

Abstract Why do some people help others in need, and some do not? One potential answer is sympathy, which reflects an other-focused desire to help others in need. Consequentially, we posit that sympathy toward a specific target joined with the attainability of successful helping forms a helping goal. In three experiments we found that helping behavior was highest when a helping goal was present, although there was a level of superficial helping when sympathy was high but attainability low. Moreover, locomotion mode, or the tendency to move forward, was associated with a higher importance placed on attainability.
走向帮助行为:同情、帮助目标可达性和运动倾向的作用
摘要为什么有些人帮助需要帮助的人,而有些人却不帮助?一个潜在的答案是同情,这反映了帮助其他需要帮助的人的另一种专注的愿望。因此,我们认为,对特定目标的同情与成功帮助的可实现性共同构成了帮助目标。在三个实验中,我们发现当存在帮助目标时,帮助行为最高,尽管当同情度高但可获得性低时,会有一定程度的表面帮助。此外,运动模式或向前移动的趋势与对可达性的高度重视有关。
