Preferred term
empathy-altruism hypothesis
Definition
- A hypothesis put forth by Batson in the late 1990s, which maintains that people will be more likely to help those for whom they feel empathy without receiving something in return. Such help is proportionate to the empathy experienced and can be provided even at great cost to the helper.
