What is pro-social behavior? What
motivation theories apply?
Offer a brief description of a
situation in which you or a person you observed engaged in prosocial behavior.
Discuss the factors that may have contributed to the motivation to help,
including an analysis of how the five steps to prosocial behavior were
involved. Also explain how one or more of the motivation theories applies to the
situation. Then, state your thoughts about whether or not prosocial behavior
can ever be completely altruistic or selfless, and why. Finally, reflect on
whether additional help could have been offered in the situation. Please
provide references in APA format.
