4) Ways to boost helping by reducing ambiguity, using persuasion techniques to increase responsibility or guilt, and teaching altruism directly.
Psychological Benefits of Helping Others
Helping others provides psychological benefits. A study by Dr. Suzanne Richards examined 40 studies over 20 years and found that volunteerism correlates with greater well-being and lower depression. Other research concludes that volunteer work reduces stress for students and makes children happier. Psychologists believe these benefits stem from helping requiring activity, fulfilling human needs for social contact, and supporting development of a positive self-image.
The Benefits of Helping Others
Arthur Godsell regularly supports others through sponsoring a child's college education and taking a man with a disability shopping weekly. Studies show that helping others through activities like volunteering over 100 hours a year is associated with reduced mortality, lower cholesterol, and living longer than non-helpers. Volunteering improves well-being and happiness by increasing dopamine release and reducing pain levels over several months.
474 2015 group influences, obedience
The document discusses several classic social psychology experiments that demonstrate how social influences and group settings can powerfully shape human attitudes, opinions, and behaviors - for better or worse. It summarizes Milgram's obedience experiments which shockingly found that over 65% of participants continued administering electric shocks to another person when instructed by an authority figure. It also discusses Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment which was abruptly stopped after students quickly adopted sadistic or depressed roles based on being assigned as guards or prisoners. Both experiments highlight how ordinary people can engage in harmful or abusive behaviors when situated within powerful social and institutional contexts.
What is Cultural Psych
Cultural psychology is a relatively new field that studies the mutual influence between people and their cultures. It challenges the assumption held in general psychology that human behavior is universally driven by innate, biological factors alone. Cultural psychology examines how cultures shape human thinking, beliefs and actions through shared systems of meaning. It also considers how different levels of analysis, from evolutionary influences to visible cultural practices, can provide insights. Some examples discussed are how cultural values like individualism vs. collectivism relate to disease prevalence, the role of religion in enabling large societies to cooperate, and cultural differences found in attribution biases. While still developing rigorous methods, cultural psychology offers an important perspective for understanding human diversity.
Group Influences: Deindividuation
This document discusses the psychological concept of deindividuation in groups. It defines deindividuation as the loss of self-awareness and evaluation apprehension that can occur in group situations, causing people to be more responsive to group norms. Certain circumstances can elicit a state of deindividuation, including large group size, physical anonymity, and arousing/distracting group activities. Deindividuation diminishes self-awareness and self-regulation, making people less restrained and more likely to act impulsively without considering their own values.
Beliefs, Attitude, Behavior
Beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors are interconnected. Beliefs can be manipulated and influence actions, whether positive or negative. One's attitude, whether positive or negative, will shape their behavior and outcomes. Those with positive attitudes will likely achieve more and help others, while negative attitudes can hold one back. Behaviors also influence beliefs and attitudes over time through cognitive dissonance. Overall, one must be conscious of how their beliefs, attitudes, and actions interconnect and potentially impact themselves and the world.
Introduction lecture
This document provides an introduction to cross-cultural psychology from Dr. Ayanna Lynch of Bowie State University. It defines key concepts like culture, discusses different cultural influences on attitudes and behaviors, and examines approaches to cross-cultural psychology like studying cultural dichotomies and the sociobiological approach.

The Psychology of Attraction
This document summarizes research on factors that influence attraction and relationships. It discusses how both evolution and culture impact perceptions of attractiveness. Proximity, similarity, familiarity, reciprocity, and barriers have been shown to influence attraction. While opposites may attract in some cases, research suggests people are generally attracted to others who are similar. The document provides references and suggests experts and resources for further research on the psychology of attraction.
Cultural Psychology Presentation
The document describes a case study that examined how the strength of Latino/a students' cultural identification influences their perceptions of other minority groups at Wesleyan University. The study primed half of the Latino/a participants about their ethnic identity and measured ethnic identification and out-group perceptions. Preliminary results found that priming increased feelings of solidarity, centrality to identity, and similarity to other Latino/a individuals. It also found priming led to viewing European-Americans as more distinct and had no effect on views of Asian-Americans. Participants were reluctant to rate African-Americans on scales but said they were most similar to their own group.
3 Attitude and Behavior
This document discusses attitudes, their formation and measurement. It defines attitudes as evaluative reactions towards something based on beliefs, feelings and intended behavior. Attitudes have four core features - a referent, evaluations, representation in memory, and cognitive/affective components. Beliefs are important in attitude formation. Several techniques are used to measure attitudes including scales, surveys and observational methods. Consistency between attitudes and behaviors depends on factors like attitude accessibility and direct experience. Theories discussed include the Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior and Cognitive Dissonance Theory. Attribution theory considers how we determine causes of behaviors.
9e ch 04
This document summarizes key chapters from the 9th edition of the psychology textbook "Psychology" by David G. Myers. The summary covers several chapters that discuss the interplay between nature and nurture in human development. Specifically, it examines how genes, early family experiences, culture, gender roles, and the environment all influence human diversity in traits such as personality, intelligence and behavior. The document emphasizes that most psychological characteristics are influenced by both biological and environmental factors interacting together, rather than being solely determined by either nature or nurture.
Group influence
This document summarizes different aspects of group influence, including social facilitation, social loafing, and deindividuation.
Social facilitation refers to the tendency of people to perform simple tasks better in the presence of others due to increased arousal. However, complex tasks may be hindered by others' presence. Social loafing is when people exert less effort in a group than individually due to decreased accountability. Deindividuation occurs in minimal group situations and can result in disinhibited behavior.
The document reviews several studies that demonstrate these concepts, such as how individuals perform better at simple tasks like bike racing or solving anagrams when with others, but worse at complex tasks like pool shots or problem-solving. It

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Helping others
- 1. “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, and to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
- 2. There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and helping others.
- 3. It’s a feeling to ease the pain of others without expecting anything in return.
- 4. Assisting each other is the phenomenon that connects people, either strangers or closed ones, together. This is the sentiment that binds people and makes them sympathetic and compassionate towards each other.
- 5. Assistance is not confined to a certain method. It could be monetary, psychologically, physically and so on. People have even started giving consultation services to help others.
