Figure showing plots for the correlations described in the post text
Finally, we found that people who believe climate change is man-made and support policies to protect the planet had higher pro-environmental motivation specifically.
People lower in trait apathy and who rated the task as less effortful were more likely to help both causes.

How Dopamine Affects Our Motivation to Help Others
New research shows patients with Parkinson's disease were more willing to help others after taking their dopamine-boosting medication.
Does dopamine modulate the willingness to help?
