Endocentryzm i egzocentryzm moralny, aprobata społeczna i empatia u wolontariuszy hospicyjnych
Moral endocentricism and exocentricism, social approval and empathy in hospice volunteers

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is an analysis of moral endocentricism and exocentricism, in conjunction with the level of social empathy and approval of hospice volunteers. The aims of the study were - identifying the factors which lead people to undertake volunteer work, defining the differences between volunteers (research group) and those who had never undertaken volunteer work (control group), and establishing whether volunteers, from the nature of their work, have a higher level of empathy and a reduced need for social acceptance. The research concluded that there was no difference between the two groups as to the levels of moral endocentricism and exocentricism and empathy, but it is noted that volunteers have a higher sense of social acceptance than the control group. From this we can conclude that social acceptance might be a factor in motivating people to undertake volunteer work.
