A conceptual framework for research on lay helping strategies is presented, differentiating the strategies along two dimensions: their focus, individual or interpersonal, and their source, natural or supplemental. A typology of characteristics of commonly used lay helping methods is proposed, and implications for intervention design and research are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
