Social identity, group processes, and helping in emergencies (2013, background): “The idea that helping behaviours can have broader meaning beyond the immediate provision (or not) of assistance, and that this meaning arises from intergroup dynamics, is most clearly demonstrated in the work of Nadler and colleagues (Nadler, 2002; Nadler & Halabi, 2006).”
How Perspective-Taking Helps and Hinders Group-Based Guilt as a Function of Group Identification (2009, background): “Compassion, and the helping it implies, may indeed even a more paternalistic helping relation giving the ingroup a foothold back on the moral high-ground while implying that the outgroup needs help (Nadler, 2002).”
Nice Guys Finish First: The Competitive Altruism Hypothesis (2006, background): “Consistent with the competitive altruism hypothesis, Nadler (2002) recently showed that high-status groups offer help to lower status groups to maintain their privileged position in the social hierarchy.”
Microdynamics in diverse teams: A review and integration of the diversity and stereotyping literatures (2017, background): “Consider, for example, older workers who may be actively helped when they ask for support but are provided less access to training than younger workers (Buyens, van Dijk, Dewilde, & De Vos, 2009; see also research on dependency-oriented help, e.g., Nadler, 1997; 2002).”
When helping helps: autonomous motivation for prosocial behavior and its influence on well-being for the helper and recipient. (2010, neutral): “These characteristics include the recipients’ self-esteem (e.g., Nadler, 1991; Nadler & Fisher, 1986), sense of competence (e.g., Von Bergen, Soper, Rosenthal, Cox, & Fullerton, 1999), and intergroup perceptions (e.g., Nadler, 2002).”
The Psychology of Charitable Donations to Disaster Victims and Beyond (2015, background): “As demonstrated by Nadler (2002), we can distinguish between autonomy-oriented and dependency-oriented helping, with the former being aimed at true empowerment and the latter aimed at maintaining a certain power differential.”
Donating to disaster victims: Responses to natural and humanly caused events (2011, positive): “…cannot be ignored in the study of prosocial behaviour (Cuddy, Rock & Norton, 2007; Graziano, Habashi, Sheese, & Tobin, 2007; Jonas et al., 2002; Nadler, 2002; Simon, Stürmer, & Steffens, 2000; Stürmer, Snyder, & Omoto, 2005), and several recent works have demonstrated that people are more…”
Implicit Attitudes and Discrimination Against People with Physical Disabilities (2011, positive): “Also, when they offer assistance, it is more likely to promote dependency than to empower people with disabilities, which can also generate resentment among people with disabilities (Nadler, 2002).”
Acting in Solidarity: Cross‐Group Contact between Disadvantaged Group Members and Advantaged Group Allies (2016, positive): “However, social psychological research and theorizing on intergroup helping (e.g., Nadler, 2002; Nadler & Halabi, 2015; van Leeuwen & Täuber, 2010) offers valuable insights into the underlying psychology of advantaged group helpers and why these kinds of dominating/co-opting behaviors might emerge.”
Restoring identity trough outgroup helping: Beliefs about international aid in respons to the December 2004 tsunami (2007, background): “Together, these constructs reflect the underlying belief structures of what Nadler (2002) labelled dependency-oriented help, and autonomy-oriented help, respectively.”
Prosocial behavior: multilevel perspectives. (2005, background): “The act of helping can be used to establish or reinforce perceptions of status differences between helpers and recipients, and helping over time could create a sense of lower status, dependency, and powerlessness among recipients (Nadler 2002, Nadler & Fisher 1986).”
Refugee integration: Research and policy. (2018, neutral): “T hi s ar tic le is in te nd ed so le ly fo r th e pe rs on al us e of th e in di vi du al us er an d is no t to be di ss em in at ed br oa dl y. social dominance of those providing help (e.g., Nadler, 2002; Schellhaas & Dovidio, 2016).”
