Prosocial Behavior in Times of Crisis: Austrian Helping Behaviors During the COVID-19 Pandemic

24/11/2021

COVID-19 has plunged the world into a crisis that has had and continues to have devastating effects on the economy and on public life. But how has this crisis affected people's civic engagement, their charitable giving, their volunteering?

As part of an international research project involving more than 20 countries, members of the Institute for Nonprofit Management surveyed people living in Austria in August 2020 about their civic engagement before and after the outbreak of Covid-19. Results on how prosocial behaviours in Austria have manifested and changed during the COVID-19 pandemic can be found in this brief and clear report.

In addition to the country report for Austria, results on helping behaviours in times of covid-19 in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Australia or the United States are also available at the projects website: https://www.globalgenerosityresearch.com.
