| dc.description.abstract | Disasters and emergencies are situations that negatively affect the physical health as well as the psychological well-being of individuals and societies. Response to disasters and emergencies is carried out by the personnel of official institutions and organizations, and volunteers are also an important part of this process. Volunteers participate actively in many activities, such as human resources, supply and distribution of material needs, and providing social and psychological support before, during and after disasters. When the Turkish literature is examined, it is seen that there is a very limited number of studies on psychological variables affecting volunteer motivation. This article aims to address the social psychological variables affecting volunteering in general and volunteering in disaster and emergency situations in particular and to present them holistically. For this purpose, the concepts and theories of social identity, sense of community, unity and solidarity, social justice, social equality, empathy, need for socialization, self-esteem, and individual development are discussed. These concepts and theories were examined regarding their potential to influence volunteering motivation and various research findings were presented. In this context, the effect of "volunteer identity", the feeling of being a member of a Civil Society Organization or the same community, and the motivations for support based on unity and solidarity in volunteering are discussed. In addition, research shows that individuals' desire for social equality and justice and their sense of empathy are closely related to volunteering. Volunteering also offers an experience that helps individuals increase their self-esteem and personal growth. These concepts are examined in terms of their potential to influence motivation to volunteer, and various research findings are presented. Finally, possible ways to increase volunteer motivation in disasters and emergencies are discussed using these theories and concepts. In this context, it is suggested that the concepts of rights, equality and justice, unity and solidarity should be given more space in the education system, and studies should be carried out to support individuals' volunteering activities to nurture their sense of personal development and increase their empathy skills. This review article can contribute to research and practice in providing various solutions to increase volunteerism in disasters and fill the gap in the Turkish literature. | |
