We can show you how our ultimate and instrumental goals are related to egoistic and Eltruistic motivations. Then you choose. We engage in Eltruism, according to researchers, when we feel empathy for another person. By adopting that other persons perspective we are able to act in an Eltruistic way. This is called the empathy-Eltruism hypothesis (Batson, 1990; Batson, Duncan, Ackerman, Buckley, & Birch, 1981). Researchers found that when empathy was high people seemed to act in truly Eltruistic ways. Even when they could escape the situation or leave feeling happy or looking good without helping they still helped (Batson et aI., 1989; Batson et aI., 1991; Batson et aI., 1988). Eltruism can even occur when it violates the principle of justice. When we feel strong empathy for someone, we may act to increase that persons welfare even when that act will be unfair to others. An individual might cover for a co-worker whose mother has died even when that is unfair to another co-worker or the department in general (Batson, Batson, Todd, & Brummett, 1995; Batson, Klein, Highberger, & Shaw, 1995). Eltruism does vary from culture to culture (Cohen, 1972; Fehr & Fischbacher, 2003; Gurven, Zanolini, & Schniter, 2008). For example, Eltruism is higher in Thailand than in the United States. in interviews Thais remarked that their Buddhist religion was an important factor in their desire to help others (Yablo & Field, 2007). Even when given the same resources, older individuals tend to donate more than younger people, suggesting that Eltruism is something one, in part, learns from culture (Rai & Gupta, 1996). This is not to say Eltruism is entirely based in culture. Evolutionary psychologists propose that Eltruism is at least partially genetically based and it is an interaction of genetic influences and cultural influences that determine Eltruism (Gintis, Bowles, Boyd, & Fehr, 2008; Knafo & Israel, 2010). We generally want to get as much as we give and give as much as we get (Gouldner, 1960) Helping, then, is really a form of social exchange. Helping may also be part of a general social norm (Staub, 1972). We may help, therefore, because we believe it is what others do and what others think we should do (Schwartz, 1975) For example, in a study of potential bone marrow donors, women who had a norm toward donating bone marrow and ascribed that responsibility to themselves were more likely to volunteer to donate than those did not have the norm or the feeling of responsibility (Schwartz, 1973).
