Recipient vs. Third-Party Requests, Recipient Need, and Helping Behavior

Michael E. Enzle

Michael D. Harvey

University of Alberta

Subjects received a request for help from either a third-party who was unable to help or from the recipient. The recipient's need was either high or relatively low. Subjects helped significantly more in response to the third-party re- quest than to the recipient request, and significantly more when the recipient's need was high than when it was low.
