Recently not only health behavior toward oneself but helping behavior toward others have been regarded as socially significant. In the present study, we investigated blood donation as a typical of the helping behavior. Specifically, we examined 1) relation between blood donation (and intention to give blood) and general tendency to help others, and 2) possible other determinants of blood donation. We administered a questionnaire including the following items to female college students majoring physical education (264 freshmen and 336 juniors). 1) Frequency of blood donation (BLD) and reason/motive for it 2) Intention of blood donation in future (INT) 3) General tendency to help others (HPT) 4) Adorno's F-scale (FSC) 5) Experience of being transfused (BLT) 6) Word association to“Blood donation”(WA) 7) Knowledge about blood donation (KNW). The results were: 1) 18% of the freshmen and 36% of the juniors had donated blood at least once (the latter percentage was significantly larger); 87% each of the both groups replied they had intention to donate blood in future. 2) BLD and INT were positively correlated. 3) Those high in HPT showed higher BLD and more often INT than those low in HPT. 4) KNW significantly contributed to BLD, but not to INT. 5) Negative affect toward blood donation revealed in WA was negatively related to INT, but not to BLD. 6) Discriminant analysis for the 3 groups according to BLD with 6 predictor variables led the following function. Y BLD=0.5593HPT+ 0.543KNW+ 0.4775INT+ 0.2267FSC+ 0.0687WA+ 0.0366BLT We conclude that blood donation is an indication of general helping tendency, but is also caused by relevant knowledge and intention.
