“…This finding resonates with Lin’s research, indicating a linear relationship between socioeconomic status and blood donation rate [ 5 ]. Studies indicate that individuals with higher socioeconomic status are more inclined towards altruistic behaviors, providing theoretical support for our findings [ 35 ].…”

Background College and university students were an important population group of blood donors, especially in the current situation of tight blood supply. This study aimed to investigate the current status and determinants of blood donation among this population group in Wuhan using a structural equation model. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 12 colleges and universities in Wuhan, China, including 5168 students. Sociodemographic characteristics, health status, knowledge about blood donation, and attitude toward blood donation were treated as latent variables, with blood donation as the observed variable. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using the Mplus 8.0 statistical software application, followed by the establishment of a structural equation model to assess the relationships that exist between these variables. Results The overall blood donation rate among college and university students was 24.71%. The established model indicated that sociodemographic characteristics, health status, knowledge about blood donation, and attitude toward blood donation showed significant positive effects (0.135, 0.056, 0.321, and 0.389, respectively) on blood donation, among them, the direct effects were 0.076, -0.110, 0.143, and 0.389, respectively (P < 0.01). Additionally, sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and knowledge about blood donation had indirectly affected blood donation through the mediating effect of attitude towards blood donation. Their effects on attitude towards blood donation were 0.099, 0.243, and 0.468, respectively. (P < 0.01). The model could explain explained 22.22% of the variance in blood donation behavior among college and university students in Wuhan. Conclusion Blood donation among college and university students in Wuhan was associated with sociodemographic characteristics, health status, knowledge about blood donation, and attitude towards blood donation, with attitude being the primary influencing factor. Tailored recruitment strategies for blood donation among students should prioritize initiatives aimed at enhancing knowledge about blood donation and fostering positive attitudes toward it.

“…Prior research has demonstrated that male adolescents performed poorly on mentalizing tasks and made more hypermentalizing errors than female counterparts (Poznyak et al, 2019). Furthermore, socioeconomic status reflecting an individual's economic and social position relative to others, is linked to increased mentalizing-related neural value coding (Schulreich et al, 2023).…”

This chapter delves into the diverse aspects in which individuals make inferences about the beliefs and values held by others. By reviewing the psychological factors underlying representing the beliefs of others, as well as the individual differences for both the individuals being represented and those undertaking the representation, this chapter sheds light on the intricate nature of representation of other’s belief. Furthermore, it discusses the ways and considerations involved in updating these beliefs (such as observation, active interaction, and Bayesian inference) and offers suggestions for future research.

“…Altruism can be defined as self-sacrificial behavior that provides more benefits to others than oneself (Arman, 2023;Kesenheimer et al, 2023;Schulreich et al, 2023). Individuals engaging in altruistic acts regularly seek to maximize benefits for others while disregarding the costs they incur personally (Alfaro et al, 2024).…”

“…Meanwhile, altruism and egoism are opposites that reflect people's motivations to act (Castañón et al, 2023;Lenhart et al, 2023;van der Meulen et al, 2023). Egoism implies acting for one's own well-being, while altruism means acting to enhance the well-being of others (Arman, 2023;Kesenheimer et al, 2023;Schulreich et al, 2023). Some researchers also refer to altruism as pro-social behavior (Hanks et al, 2022;Hibino, 2023).…”

Altruistic behavior is a conduct that prioritizes the interests of others to alleviate their suffering and enhance well-being without expecting any reward for the actions taken. There are still unanswered questions from previous research regarding the motivations that underlie altruistic behavior in disaster relief volunteers. This study aims to explore and delve into the motivations behind altruistic behavior in Indonesian Red Cross volunteers. The phenomenological approach is employed in this research, using semi-structured interviews to gather data. The study participants are individuals aged 18 to 25 who are actively involved as Indonesian Red Cross volunteers in the city of Surakarta. The results of the research indicate that the motivations driving altruistic behavior include the desire to help others, a calling for humanity service to God, enrichment of social interaction, and the influence of family or circumstances. Further discussion is elaborated in this manuscript.
