== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Prosocial Behavior''' β Any action intended to "Benefit another person" or "Society as a whole." * '''Altruism''' β The "Purest" prosocial behavior: a "Selfless concern" for the well-being of others with "No expectation" of a reward. * '''Bystander Effect''' β The phenomenon where individuals are "Less likely to help" a victim when "Other people are present." * '''Diffusion of Responsibility''' β The reason for the Bystander Effect: "If there are 100 people here, someone ELSE will call for help." * '''Social Exchange Theory''' β The "Economic View" of kindness: we only help if the "Benefit" (feeling good/social praise) is bigger than the "Cost" (time/risk). * '''Reciprocity Norm''' β The "Unwritten Rule" that we should "Return favors" to those who have helped us. * '''Social Responsibility Norm''' β The "Expectation" that people will "Help those who need help," even if they can't pay us back (e.g., children or the elderly). * '''Kin Selection''' β The evolutionary theory that we "Help those who share our genes" (family) to ensure our "DNA survives." * '''Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis''' β The idea that if we "Feel empathy" for someone, we will help them for "Pure" reasons; if we don't feel empathy, we only help if it "Benefits us." * '''Pluralistic Ignorance''' β When everyone in a crowd is "Looking at everyone else" to see how to react; if everyone looks "Calm," the group "Decides" there is "No Emergency," even if someone is dying. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
