Abstract in brief

  • The study examines how natural disasters, like Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu, influence people's willingness to share and cooperate, using experiments before and after the event.
  • Results show that property damage tends to decrease overall prosocial behavior and increase favoritism toward one's own group, while experiencing distress of others boosts generosity toward both in-group and out-group members.
  • The findings suggest that different types of disaster-related experiences shape prosocial actions differently, affecting how people decide to help others in crisis situations.]

After a cyclone, people were less likely to show prosociality toward both in-group and out-group members and more likely to show parochialism. But exposure to people in distress led to increased prosociality to both in-group & out-groups members. https://t.co/eH6bWZGlEL https://t.co/LkHFveC76X
