To investigate the existence of true altruism, the authors assessed the link between empathic concern and helping by : (a) employing an experimental perspective - taking paradigm used previously to demonstrate empathy - associated helping and (b) assessing the empathy - helping relationship while controlling for a range of relevant, well - measured nonaltruistic motivations. Consistent with previous research, the authors found a significant zero - order relationship between helping and empathic concern, the purported motivator of true altruism. This empathy -helping relationship disappeared, however, when nonaltruistic motivators (oneness and negative affect) were taken into account : Only the nonaltruistic factors of oneness (merged identity with the victim) and negative affect mediated helping, whereas empathic concern did not. Evidence for true altruism remains elusive.
