As we saw in the first entry , there traits that prevail in a selfless personality. But to put them into practice requires more than just owning them. These traits are the product of both a- the genetic (predisposition) and b- education (values) and modeling. Learn from models.
internal motivation is needed (in addition to an external trigger, a trigger event) The Drs Samuel and Pearl Oliner in their investigations have found 3 different :
In the previous post I talked two:
1 - Motivation empathically oriented.
2 - Motivation Orent to central rule
of third type
3 - Motivation Oriented under a top-umbrella own ( The principle of Justice, for some and for others the principle of neighbor Care )
Case "Suzanne" Type 3: Motivation is nucleated on the principle vector or "Umbrella "Justice.
Suzanne was born in 1909 in Paris into a Protestant family Calvnista moderately religious.
His father was an engineer and his mother a homemaker. Suzanne had a brother 12 years her senior. Suzanne finished her academic degree in Mathematics in 1933. He never married. After the death of his mother and his brother's departure Suzanne lived in an apartment rented 3 rooms, with his father. Worked at the school in a small town as a high school math teacher. During the war continued to work there.
"When Marshal Petain came to power, it was evident in the entrevista_ _dijo that the dictatorship had begun. I knew that one of the first steps would be an edict accusing the Jews. I did not react to the first, but when the second decree was published, I decided to get involved. I then wrote a letter to the 3 rabbis in my region. "In this letter she told them how angry I was by these accusations and their ancestors, Protestants of the Cevennes, had fought for freedom of worship. She was their example and put under the command of them.
One letter was intercepted and Suzanne was accused of provoking, but not be intimidated by them, but, quite the contrary, he continued his actions. A week was asked to me to get clothes for babies. She immediately got the practical work of his students tissue. Then followed numerous orders and was responsible for a long list of refugees.
Susanne recruits people to help in its well known. If action is not going well, she was not discouraged and he began to complain, but that was already embarked on the next mission. And so, he helped hundreds of adults and children aciento also, in different ways for 3 years running. None of them known before. Many had not even had contact with Jews.
His narrative did not focus on the hardships and psychological states of helping refugees. His reason for help was simply that "all men born equally free and equal rights. " Jews being persecuted, this was something she should do. It was a matter of justcia. " There was nothing.
Susanne was remarkably consistent in their actions from the time he made the decision to do so until the end of the war. 4 characteristics of its action : 1 - stable and goal-directed. 2 - help context impersonal. 3 - independent external reviews. 4 - commitment to pending action to end the injustice.
Susanne had higher scores on social responsibility, empathy. It was a confident person with a strong ego, whose power emanated from the principles. However, it was a modest person. Your flia had been close, with solid moral principles, his brother was a decorated hero of the Resistance.
Case "Louisa" Type 3: Motivation is nucleated on the principle vector or "umbrella" Care for others:
Louisa was born in 1909 in a Dutch family critaiana reform. His father was a military officer, his mother a talented artist. Louisa had two sisters. A two years her senior and a minus 4. Louisa studied at the Sorbonne before the war and then in the U.S.. A loa 20 years he went to Paris and worked as a writer and journalist. He married a German artist who had two daughters. She divorced him in 1940 and then married Luisa a degree in Agronomy Dutch had a nine year old son from previous marriage. Luisa, he and the 3 boys lived together in Holland outside of Amsterdam.
savataje activities Luisa began in 1940 when some friends asked him to keep at home personal objects ellos.Cuando his friends were interned in the ghetto, she They took the child of 3 years and stayed with him. She and her husband joined the Resistance. During the next few years, many Jews came to ask shelter. She continued to release activities.
Louisa The reason given for their actions, is very different to that of Suzanne (the previous case):
"I can not give reasons. There was nothing left to reason. There were people in need and I went to his aid. "
"I can not give reasons. There was nothing left to reason. There were people in need and I went to his aid. "
The focus was on "people in need of help," When he asked, as was that she began acting and her husband. She repsondió who did not start, but that the aid did naturally began gradually.
When his mother told him he believed he had no right to endanger the lives of their children, Louisa replied that this was the best legacy we could leave their children.
To Louisa: The common good was above the individual good and modeling that lesson and wanted to leave their children. She had a very strong sense of social responsibility, gave a high score (in the forms and tables of interviewers) in terms of pro-social action.
The content of the principles and Louisa moved to Suzanne altruistic action, were different, as was the importance of personal relationships in life each. In common were the great commitment to its principles (the first: justice) and second (caring for others) that allowed each to reverse the situation descanzo within the limits of possibility.
In the next and final installment (for now) talk about how to create altruists: Education in values \u200b\u200band learning models.
