Answer to Question 1

Answer: While some work has shown that those who are religious are more likely to give money to charity and engage in volunteer work than those who do not attend religious services, there is also evidence that this finding is limited. Specifically, if the person needing the help is of the religious person's in-group, there is a greater likelihood of helping. However, if the person needing help has different beliefs, then a religious person is no more likely to help than a nonreligious person.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: According to the social exchange theory, people help others in situations in which they expect that helping will result in more rewards and fewer punishments. This theory suggests that people will not be likely to help when there are high costs and/or low rewards.
