Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”
