45、related to UnSeIfiShness, to expand their range of experiences, and to Strengthen social relati On ships. If VolUn teer POSiti OnS do not meet these n eeds, people may not WiSh to PartiCipate.

50、trategieS for cop ing With the problem they do experie nce”.Ano ther StUdy of 302 VolUn teers at hospitals in ChiCagO focused On in dividual differe nces inthe degree to WhiCh people VieW“ VolUn teer ” as an importa nt social role.
