Abstract
When does altruistic behavior foster or inhibit the creation of shared attitudes? We focused on the case in which the helper is an outgroup member. In Study 1, altruistic behavior had a different effect depending on the race of the person being helped; Study 2 investigated what mediates attitude change.
