  • Provides the reader with a cohesive look at helping and prosocial behaviors using a combination of theoretical work with research on interventions in applied settings
  • Examines helping from multiple perspectives in order to recognize the diverse influences that promote actions for the benefit of others
  • Contributors to this volume include cutting-edge researchers using both field studies and laboratory experiments

"This book is essential reading for anybody who is interested in prosocial behaviour, or in applying social identity processes to relevant real-world situations." (Psychologist, January 2010)
