“…This was associated with helping people in both physical and psychological distress (Feinberg, 1978;Staub, 1974Staub, , 1978Staub, , 1980. It was positively associated with constructive-in contrast to blind-patriotism, which involves speaking out and taking action when one's country deviates from humane values (Schatz, Staub, & Lavine, 1999), and with less aggression in boys (Spielman & Staub, 2000). This characteristic combined with belief in one's capacity to influence others' welfare was especially strongly associated with self-reported helping of many kinds (Staub, 2003, Chapter 9).…”

“…A combination of a belief in or feeling of personal responsibility and a belief in one's ability to help others is especially powerful in leading people to help—to become active bystanders (Staub, , Chapter 9). We found in another study that aggressive 7th graders had lower prosocial orientation than nonaggressive ones (Spielman & Staub, ). In another study, Canadian heroes who received recognition for saving someone's life reported that their parents expected them to help others.…”

“…We have developed a training for aggressive boys, based on the assumption that their aggression is the result of having learned to fulfill important needs destructively (Spielman and Staub 2000). These boys saw people as more hostile, which is a characteristic of aggressive boys (Dodge and Frame 1982;Dodge et al 1990), seeing hostility when nonaggressive boys do not.…”

“…In another school with a less supportive environment, where we found teachers acting less kindly toward students, boys who did not receive the training became more aggressive-as judged by teachers and in-school suspensions-but boys who had the training became slightly less aggressive from before to after the training, with a significant difference between the two groups. Boys who received the training also came to see people as less hostile (Spielman and Staub 2000). The training provided information, creating a more accurate perception of other people-not seeing hostility where there is no hostility-and presumably also a more accurate understanding of oneself (greater self-awareness).…”
