This book is the product of an intensive cooperation between psych-
ogists and sociologists who study solidarity and prosocial
behavior, and its fruits are briefly summarized in Chapter 1. The
topics of so- darity and prosocial behavior are at the core of both
disciplines and thus one might expect that an intensive cooperation
like the one that produced this book is not uncommon. Surprisingly
however, it is extremely rare that sociologists and psychologists
get together to c- bine their knowledge in these fields. Instead,
researchers from both disciplines tend to ignore each other's work
quite generally, and the work on prosocial and antisocial behavior
is no exception. The conviction that sociology and psychology can
benefit from each other's work led us-a group of sociologists and
psychologists at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands)-in
1999 to launch a joint research project on solidarity and
prosociality. The aim was to find a common ground on which insights
from each discipline could contribute to a broader understanding of
solidarity and prosocial behavior. This interdisciplinary research
project was called Prosocial Dispositions and Solidary Behavior and
it was financed by the University of Groningen as a so-called
breedtestrategie program (i.e., a program for broadening
disciplinary approaches).
