Does Helping Help You Feel Good? the Answer Depends on Cultural Orientation
Building on culturally distinct conceptualizations of helping (obligation vs. choice), this research focuses on the emotional consequences of helping others. We demonstrate that whether helping provides an emotional boost depends on cultural orientation, which determines whether people attribute helping to personal choice and, thus, to one’s personal character.
