Abstract

How do people behave when disasters strike? Popular media accounts depict panic and cruelty, but in fact, individuals often cooperate with and care for one another during crises. I summarize evidence for such "catastrophe compassion," discuss its roots, and consider how it might be cultivated in more mundane times.
