Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
W13- reading question
Choose 1 question from the list below to answer. If you answer more than 1 question, you will receive extra credit.
In addition to those mentioned in the module, what other costs and rewards might affect a potential helper’s decision of whether to help? Receiving help to solve some problem is an obvious benefit for someone in need; are there any costs that a person might have to bear as a result of receiving help from someone?
What do you think is the primary motive for helping behavior: egoism or altruism? Why? Are there any professions in which people are being “pure” altruists, or are some egoistic motivations always playing a role?
There are other prosocial behaviors in addition to the kind of helping discussed here. People volunteer to serve many different causes and organizations. People come together to cooperate with one another to achieve goals that no one individual could reach alone. How do you think the factors that affect helping might affect prosocial actions such as volunteering and cooperating? Do you think that there might be other factors that make people more or less likely to volunteer their time and energy or to cooperate in a group?
