- I to we: The role of consciousness transformation in compassion and altruism (2007, background): “In addition, the extent to which religious participation actually results in increased altruism, particularly when it involves significant cost or sacrifice, remains in question (Batson 2002; McCullough and Worthington 1999; Saroglou et al. 2005).”
- The power of asking: How communication affects selfishness, empathy, and altruism (2011, background): “There is considerable evidence that feelings of empathy are strongly connected to altruistic and pro-social behavior (Batson et al., 1988; Batson, 2002; De Vignemont and Singer, 2006; Preston and de Waal, 2002).”
- Attachment, caregiving, and altruism: boosting attachment security increases compassion and helping. (2005, background): “…needs for self-protection and self-enhancement (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2005) and allows a person to shift resources to other behavioral systems, including caregiving, and to take the other’s perspective (Mikulincer et al., 2002)—the key mechanism underlying altruistic helping (Batson, 1991, 2002).”
