Batson's list of forces that prompt people to act for the public good includes altruism (acting for the benefit of others), egoism (acting for one's own benefit), and collectivism (acting for the benefit of a group). Conventionalism, which refers to adherence to conventional norms and standards, is not listed by Batson as a force that motivates people to act for the public good.
