Partners Mirror Each Other's Informal Helping Behavior: Evidence From a Longitudinal Study
Objective This paper examines to what extent partners' informal helping behaviors are related and to what extent this partner effect differs by gender. Differences in informal help given to kin and non‐kin are explored. Background Although prior research has suggested that partners influence each other's helping behavior, these mostly cross‐sectional studies did not account for possible selection effects. The present study takes a longitudinal ap…
Care for thy neighbour: A study of neighbours' caregiving intentions by likelihood of reciprocity and previous caregiving experience
Given the increase in the proportion of older people as well as the decrease in family size, it can be expected that more and more informal care will fall onto the shoulders of non-kin, such as neighbours. Currently, neighbours rarely provide informal care, and knowledge on their characteristics and motivations is limited. This study advances our knowledge of neighbour caregivers by examining the impact of anticipated reciprocity and previous (ne…
Decline in informal helping during the first Covid-19 lockdown: A longitudinal analysis of Dutch data
Like many European countries, the Netherlands locked down in March 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19. Although government officials called for solidarity, the lockdown measures made it more difficult to help fellow citizens. In this study, we examine whether informal helping declined during the first lockdown in the Netherlands and to what extent changes depended on people’s resources (time/health), motivation (solidarity/COVID concerns) and …
More or less help? A longitudinal investigation of positive and negative consequences of divorce for informal helping
As divorce rates have risen, scholars have expressed concern that a breakdown of traditional family bonds might negatively influence community life. This study examines the impact of divorce on one form of community involvement, namely informal community helping, and whether this impact depends on household income, having adult children and being full-time employed. We hypothesized that informal community helping can both increase and decrease af…

Social class, economic and political grievances and radical left voting: The role of macroeconomic performance
The classic gap between lower and higher social classes in their likelihood to vote for radical left parties (RLPs) persists to this day. Prior studies showed that economic and political grievances predict support for the radical left, but they largely neglected to address whether the working class is more likely to vote for RLPs because they are economically and politically dissatisfied. This study, therefore, examines the explanatory role of ec…
Informal Volunteering and Socialization Effects: Examining Modelling and Encouragement by Parents and Partner
Informal volunteering is seen as an important indicator of social relations and community life. We therefore investigate the impact of various socialization practices on informal volunteering, being small helping behaviours outside of organizations for people outside the household. From theoretical notions on socialization, we hypothesize that experiencing extensive prosocial socialization practices promotes informal volunteering. We examine soci…
