Description:This doctoral dissertation discusses and theorizes about the interface of affective and cognitive variables contributing to Altruistic behaviors. The author hypothesizes that helping behaviors are the result of internalized moral precepts, empathy, and autonomy ( the ability to act morally in the face of group pressure to act otherwise). Historical events such as the Holocaust and the death of Kitty Genovese are used to show how a lack of autonomy, empathy and internalized moral precepts, together, contributed to these events. She theorizes that in studying the altruistic persons, the internalized moral precepts by which these people live, and their ability to act autonomously in the face of group pressure to act otherwise will help us to nurture those attributes in others. This was a highly innovative work in 1990 and holds promising implications for education and society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
