Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emotions such as sympathy, concern or compassion are harm-related emotions as they arise in response to someone else's suffering or distress. These emotions motivate prosocial behavior that aims to reduce the harm or alleviate the suffering of others who are vulnerable. Self-critical emotions are negative self-evaluative emotions, other-condemning emotions involve blaming or condemning others, and positive moods are not necessarily linked to prosocial behavior towards vulnerable others.
