“…The evaluation about the attitude structure of volunteers (SEEH-questionnaire) confirmed the assumption of a more altruistic orientation of the volunteers, with self-serving factors such as “self-experience” also having a not negligible impact. These results confirm previous findings according to which the motives of VAD cannot be clearly assigned only to altruistic or to self-serving orientation [2,40].…”

In 2016, the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital of Erlangen started conducting training for professional and voluntary aid workers. In total, 149 aid workers took part in the training courses, of which 135 completed the corresponding questionnaires. Engagement motivators, perceived distress in refugee work and training needs were examined. Moreover, depressive symptoms, the prevalence of traumatic experiences and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder were explored. Participants named helping others as the highest motivating factor for their work with refugees and communication problems as the main burden. Thirteen aid workers (10.1%) showed clinically relevant depressive symptoms. In total, 91.4% of refugee aid workers had experienced at least one traumatic event personally or as a witness but only three (3.6%) fulfilled the psychometric requirements of a PTSD diagnosis. These three participants all belonged to the professional aid workers (6.3%). More severe symptoms of depression were significantly associated with female gender (β = 0.315, p = 0.001), higher perceived burdens of refugee work (β = 0.294, p = 0.002), and a larger number of experienced traumatic events (β = 0.357, p < 0.001). According to our results, we recommend psychological trainings and regular screenings for psychological stress in order to counteract possible mental illnesses.

“…Future CS scholarship could benefit from research on volunteering: It would be interesting to assess CS participation rates and compare them to voluntary engagement rates in sectors like sports, culture and education (Simonson, Ziegelmann, Vogel, & Tesch-Römer, 2017). Additionally, the catalogue of motives developed in research on (maintained) volunteering could be incorporated in CS research (Müller, Hameister, & Lux, 2017). For example, the role of monetary incentives has not been empirically considered in CS research yet (Hecker et al, 2018).…”

Driven by the proliferation of digital media, citizen science -the involvement of non-scientists in scientific research -represents one of the most important recent developments in science communication as it brings science and the public closer together. So far, however, citizen science projects have mostly attracted people that are highly educated, mostly male and already have very positive attitudes towards science. Based on nationally representative survey data (N = 1051), our study explores the potential of citizen science in Switzerland. Using regression analysis, we show that attitudes towards science are significant antecedents of respondents' interest in participating in citizen science -but that gender and education are not. In addition, latent class analysis identifies five segments, representing over onethird of the Swiss population, who are interested in citizen science and could potentially be engaged: 'Free-Timers', 'Senior Sciencephiles', 'Young Sciencephiles', 'Intrigued Adolescents' and 'Fully Employed Parents'. Additional description suggests that previously overlooked segments are best addressed online via YouTube or offline in zoos or botanical gardens. Overall, our analysis suggests that citizen science's potential is far higher than previous projects were able to realize.

“…Among the first ones were: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, research, and generalization of the experience of using the potential of volunteering in emergencies in the academic discourse. The current research also used the materials from the most significant foreign studies of volunteering (Müller, Hameister, & Lux, 2016;Olk, 2011;Vogel et al, 2016) (Mersijanova & Korneeva, 2013;Mersijanova, 2018) over the past nine years.…”

El propósito del artículo es identificar los motivos, tipos y áreas de voluntariado en el sistema de respuesta de emergencia en la región de Lipetsk, Rusia. Para obtener las características cuantitativas del problema estudiado, se ha utilizado el método de sondeo masivo en el lugar de residencia, trabajo y estudio de los encuestados. El motivo principal de los participantes en las actividades de voluntariado es la razón altruista. El 8,1% de los voluntarios ha definido su ámbito de actividad como voluntariado en situaciones de emergencia. El 31,9% está potencialmente preparado para ayudar a las personas en situaciones de emergencia. Esta variación en las cifras podría explicarse por el hecho de que muchos voluntarios no tienen las habilidades necesarias suficientes. Además, la participación en situaciones de emergencia, liquidación, accidentes de tráfico, extinción de incendios, etc., está asociada a un posible riesgo.
