Stanford Study Shows That People Are Willing to Help Others

There is a good news for humanity: people are more willing to help others than what we usually think.

“Our research should encourage people to ask for help and not assume that others are disinclined to comply,” said Frank Flynn, associate professor of organizational behavior at the Graduate School of Business. “People are more willing to help than you think, and that can be important to know when you’re trying to get the resources you need to get a job done, when you’re trying to solicit funds or what have you.”

This finding is interesting because it encourages us to be willing to ask. Since people are willing to help, if we don’t ask we will lose opportunities.
