Efforts to identify a single personality profile of the
“helpful person” have not been very successful.
Rather, it appears that particular personality traits
and abilities dispose people to help in specific
types of situations. For instance, a study revealed
that adults with a high need for approval were more
likely to donate money to charity than those
individuals who were low in need for social
approval, but only when other people were
watching them. ----

In contrast, empathy means feelings of sympathy and caring for others, in particular, sharing vicariously or indirectly in the suffering of others |
|
As expected, the people in the high-empathy condition experienced significantly greater empathy, as reflected in self-ratings of sympathetic and compassionate feelings |
|
Presumably, this shows that people high in a need for approval are motivated by a desire to win praise from others and so act in a helpful manner only when their good deeds are likely to be noticed |
|
Further insights into personality and helpfulness come from studies of individuals who regularly donate their services for the sake of being more helpful |
|
Finally, women are more likely than men to be the primary caregivers for the family, thus making them appear to be more helpful and empathetic |
