Research topics
Why do people donate blood or organs? Donating substances of human origin is a complex act determined by individual and social characteristics. Departing from theories about pro-social behaviour we examine determinants of becoming and remaining a donor. Thereby, we include psychological, social and biological donor characteristics as well as networks and geographical and cultural context.
