Age group: The effect of gender differences and injury conditions in receiving help.

Abstract

Abstract Our research explores altruistic behaviour on the potential influence of gender and injury status on the probability of receiving assistance from others in Chinese society. By employing rigorous statistical analysis, we have determined that neither gender nor injury status exhibits a discernible impact on the willingness of individuals to extend aid. Nonetheless, we have observed a significant correlation between age and the provision of help, with advanced age being associated with a decreased inclination to help relative to younger age groups. It should be underscored that gender in isolation does not appear to exert a statistically significant influence on the likelihood of providing help. Furthermore, we have found that middle-aged participants are more susceptible to the injury status of the individual in need and are less inclined to help an injured woman. These findings are of utmost significance in providing essential insights into the complex interplay of factors that govern the provision of assistance in real-world scenarios.
