Abstract
Interpersonal functions of crying are supported: Our results indicate a strong effect of tears on willingness to help in an observer which is less potent for male dyads. Perceived helplessness and connectedness are confirmed as general mediators. Perceived friendliness seems only relevant for female criers.
