In this volume scholars from a variety of disciplines address a
range of phenomena related to the general question of when people
behave in an altruistic fashion. The specific topics addressed in
this volume include how empathy induced altruism can actually be a
threat to the some larger collective good, the role of egoism in
the production and maintenance of social order, the basis of
cooperation in social dilemmas, an evolutionary account of sex
differences in the propensity to cooperate, a theoretical analysis
of when individuals experience gratitude versus indebtedness in
response to receiving help, a new status-driven theory of large
scale collective action, a cross-national analysis of institutional
versus generalized trust in societies, and how individuals develop
expectations for the sanctioning of particular kinds of behaviors.
Overall, the volume includes papers that reflect a wide range of
theoretical approaches to altruism and prosocial behavior in groups
from sociologists and psychologists who work in the general area of
group processes.
