Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how a major earthquake in Chile affected people's sense of national identity, prosocial values, and helping behaviors, finding that after the disaster, people felt more united and motivated to help.
  • Higher levels of national identity, prosocial values, and disaster-related helping motivations were observed post-earthquake, indicating that people tend to rally together and act altruistically in response to such crises.
  • Proximity to the earthquake’s epicenter was linked to greater national pride and participation in recovery efforts, highlighting how personal experience with a disaster influences willingness to engage in prosocial actions.]
