prosocial behavior and altruistic acts in social interactions

Investigate the motivational, situational, and individual factors that influence prosocial behavior and altruistic acts in social interactions. Discuss theories of prosocial behavior, such as social exchange theory and empathy-altruism hypothesis, in understanding the motives and mechanisms underlying helping behavior. Analyze research findings on the role of empathy, moral values, and situational cues in promoting altruistic decision-making and helping behavior, as well as the impact of bystander intervention, volunteerism, and charitable giving on individual well-being and community resilience.
