This study explored the extent to which self - help group leaders endorsed beliefs that group members should primarily take care of themselves (a need - based norm) and that group members have an obligation to help others (an equity - based nonn). Leadersfrom 63 different groups were asked to respond to a fictional vignette describing "Betty," who had been attending a cancer survivors group for 4 months. Leaders 'endorsements of both norms were interpreted as evidence that leaders experienced pressures to respond to both individual members 'needs and the group 's survival needs. Group - level variables, rather than dispositional variables, were most strongly associated with their endorsements of needand equity - based norms. Leaders were less likely to endorse the need - based norm and more likely to endorse the equity - based norm when : (a) there was more diversified leadership in their own group, (b) their group was affiliated with other groups rather than stand - alone groups, and (c) the leader was a successor rather than a founder.
