Example: empathic concern
Measured on a 5 points scale– I often feel concern for people who are less
fortunate materially than me– Other people's problems do not usually bother
me– Other people's misfortune does not usually
bother me– I am often touched by what other people go
through

Migrant groups may have different conceptions of 'donating' and 'volunteering'
Direct, unorganized ways of participating are more common among migrant groups...
… so measure them
