The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive model of helping behaviors based on the variables of risk perception, self-efficacy and social problem solving with regard to the mediator variable of responsibility. The present study was a descriptive study of the type of correlation and the research population consisted of all aid agencies in the province of Khuzestan in 2018. In order to determine the sample size, Cochran formula based on non-defined population was used and 387 people were selected by cluster sampling method. In this regard, Khuzestan was divided into two geographic areas including north, south, east, west and central. in each region, a flooded area was selected randomly and in each region, two flood relief camps were selected and referred to it and randomly selected subjects who referred to these centers were selected. Data collection tools included the Derakhshandeh Nia's helping behavior questionnaires (2005), Benten risk perception questionnaire (1993), Sherer self-efficacy (1982), Dezurilla et al.'s social problem solving (2002) and Gough's responsibility (1984). In order to test the hypothesis, the statistical method of path analysis was used with SPSS and AMOS-22 software. The results of path analysis of indirect coefficients showed that responsibility can play mediator role in relation between social variables solving and self-efficacy with the helping behavior of flood aid workers in Khuzestan (p < 0/05) while responsibility has not been able to play mediator role in relation between risk perception and helping behavior (p>0/05).
