Abstract:
A literature review identified various kinds of altruism, including altruism devoted to social change and a charitable form of altruism, along with the concept that it is possible for these types to occur independently or simultaneously. A study was conducted with university students in a Deaf studies program to determine the effect of a service-learning experience on the development of altruistic behaviors. Students in a course titled "Social Services in the Deaf Community" responded to a questionnaire measuring their attitudes toward serving the community before and after they participated in an off-campus experience volunteering with organizations that served or could serve the Deaf community. The results indicated significant changes in students' attitudes regarding their ability to make a difference in society, and strongly suggest a positive correlation between service-learning experiences and development of "civic responsibility" altruistic behaviors among Deaf studies students volunteering in the community.
