Abstract

Helping behavior in nationally televised professional football games was studied to determine whether success on the part of the helper and responsibility for the condition calling for help were related to the frequency of helping another player to his feet. Both were significant determinants in that helping was significantly more frequent when the helper's team was ahead and the defensive unit helped other players much more frequently than the offensive unit. The findings have implications for further investigations on the nature of helping in competitive and aggressive situations.
