The objective of this paper is to study the consequences of interest of gain on good neighbourliness in Cameroon. According to Bergalli [1], corruption is an indicator of change in the forms of social interaction: the interest of gain becomes the most important of the interests that weave the social bond. At this point, in a relation of mutual assistance, help during difficult times can decrease because there is nothing to gain by helping. Using survey data from the National Institute of Statistics on 9,222 households in 2014, estimates from a logit model show that the fact that corruption is a major problem for the country decreases the probability of getting help from neighbours in difficult times. The interest of gain has led to a deterioration of good neighbourliness in Cameroon.
