Examines the major aspects of giving and receiving help in
interpersonal and intergroup relations This unique book extends the
traditional emphasis on interpersonal help-giving in order to
consider a wider spectrum of interpersonal and intergroup helping
relations. Help giving is viewed as reflecting people's care for
others, while at the same time dependency on help and giving help
imply lower and higher places on the social hierarchy,
respectively. It studies the psychology of what goes into helping
someone and integrates experimental work conducted in the social
psychological laboratory with applied research from volunteer
organizations, schools, and work and family environments. In
addition to research on the giving of help, the book considers the
recipient of help and reviews research and theory on people's
readiness to seek and receive help. Unlike much of past research in
this context that has been interested in the "generosity question"
(i.e., whether or not people help others) the book considers how
different kinds of assistance (i.e., autonomy and
dependency-oriented help) shape helping interactions. It then goes
beyond the analyses of the immediate helping interaction to
consider the long-term consequences of giving and receiving help.
Finally, the book addresses theory and research on intergroup
helping relations. Social Psychology of Helping Relations:
Solidarity and Hierarchy begins with a general introduction to the
topic. It then offers a series of broad perspectives, covering the
philosophical and psychological theory, evolution, and overview of
social psychological research. Next, the book looks at the social
psychology of helping relations, examining the parties involvedt,
and the "why" behind their actions. The positives and negatives of
giving and receiving assistance, and the links between status and
interpersonal and intergroup helping relations are also covered. It
considers how giving, seeking and receiving help maintains or
challenges status relations between individuals and groups. The
book finishes with a conclusion that wraps up the many lessons
learned. Looks at solidarity and inequality in social interactions
Examines why people are ready to give and receive help Studies the
consequences of giving and receiving help Highlights important
implications to different kinds of help beyond the dichotomy
between giving/receiving help or not Addresses research and theory
on interpersonal and intergroup helping relations The implications
of helping relations for personal and social change Social
Psychology of Helping Relations: Solidarity and Hierarchy is an
ideal book for advanced students, researchers and individuals
interested in social psychology, counselling, social work,
Sociology, and Political Science.
