这项实验整合了来自两个研究领域的信息--患者的感知和对公正世界的信念（BJW）--迄今为止，这两个领域对人们何时会帮助他人提供了相对独立的见解。我们为参与者提供了一个实际的机会，以帮助一个目标医疗病人，并试图证明，志愿服务是受两个特点的病人（感知疾病发作的责任）和特点的感知（BJW）。参与者更有可能帮助一个被描述为对疾病发作不负责任的人，并且帮助在BJW高的参与者中最为明显。我们的研究结果表明，病人的感知和帮助行为的互动模式，其中病人的特点与感知者的特点互动。
This experiment integrated information from two areas of research-patient perception and belief in a just world (BJW)-that have heretofore offered relatively separate insights into when people will help others. We provided participants an actual opportunity to help a target medical patient and attempted to demonstrate that volunteering is affected by both characteristics of the patient (perceived responsibility for disease onset) and characteristics of the perceiver (BJW). Participants were significantly more likely to help an individual portrayed as not responsible for disease onset, and helping was most pronounced in participants who held a high BJW. Our findings suggest an interactive model of patient perception and helping behavior in which characteristics of the patient interact with characteristics of the perceiver.
