In February 2022, Poland became one of the most engaged countries in accepting Ukrainian refugees. Based on the norm activation model, the study, performed during the first two weeks of the war, examined the prosocial intentions of Poles toward Ukrainians in relation to the individualizing moral foundations (harm/care and fairness/reciprocity), as well as beliefs about the obligation of individual citizens to help.
The study was designed to investigate the views of Poles on helping Ukrainians in times of tension. On the second day of data collection, the war in Ukraine began. Therefore, the study shows the intentions of Poles to help refugees from Ukraine in the first days of full-scale war. A total of 139 people aged 18-71 years from the general public participated (102 females) in an online survey distributed through social media channels.
The results show that individual obligation belief fully mediates the effect of individualizing moral foundations on prosocial behavior intentions.
Based on the results, it could be concluded that during a refugee crisis, in line with the norm activation model, highlighting the personal obligation to provide support can be important to motivate people to help others in need. The effect of a sense of personal obligation is more important than the effect of an underlying individualizing morality.
2022年2月，波兰成为接收乌克兰难民最积极的国家之一。基于规范激活模型，该研究在战争的头两周进行，考察了波兰人对乌克兰人的亲社会意图与个体化道德基础（伤害/关怀和公平/互惠）的关系，以及关于公民个人帮助义务的信念。
该研究旨在调查波兰人在紧张时期帮助乌克兰人的观点。在数据收集的第二天，乌克兰战争爆发。因此，该研究展示了波兰人在全面战争头几天帮助乌克兰难民的意图。共有139名年龄在18至71岁的普通民众（102名女性）参与了通过社交媒体渠道分发的在线调查。
结果表明，个人义务信念完全中介了个体化道德基础对亲社会行为意图的影响。
基于研究结果，可以得出结论，在难民危机期间，根据规范激活模型，强调提供支持的个人义务对于激励人们帮助有需要的人可能很重要。个人义务感的影响比潜在的个体化道德的影响更重要。
