The processes whereby privileged individuals choose to help others from socially disadvantaged groups remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to measure potential perceived benefits for helping others from disadvantaged groups. This scale holds promise for potentially evaluating the efficacy of classroom interventions to motivate people to become engaged in dialogue and action around social justice, a key tenet of social justice education.
