"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)
"At a time when crises are springing up everywhere at home and
abroad, and evil appears to be marshaling mighty forces, nothing
could be more timely and needed than this brilliant collection of
insightful contributions about how to elicit the best in human
nature. The Psychology of Prosocial Behavior is must reading
for understanding how to elicit helping, volunteering, altruism,
and yes even heroism from ordinary people—our neighbors and
us all."

"This volume makes a unique and significant contribution to the
social science literature by bringing together research and theory
on social identity, groups, and intergroup relations with
traditional topics in the study of prosocial behavior. The
contributors are major figures from both of these fields of
research and their combined efforts bring a new level of
understanding of how human propensities toward helping and altruism
are influenced by group memberships and intra- and inter-group
processes. A major step forward in the social psychology of
sociality."
–Marilynn Brewer, University of New South Wales
