Abstract

A 2 (help present vs. help absent) by 2 (high- vs. low-need potential recipient) design explored the effects of helping a high- or a low-need other on the donor’s self-evaluation. The results indicated that there were more beneficial self-related consequences associated with helping high-than helping low-need others. The conceptual and applied implications of the data are discussed.
