Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The empathy-altruism hypothesis assumes that empathy motivates people to help others purely for altruistic reasons. However, this hypothesis fails to consider situational factors that make it more likely for people with egoistic motives to help, such as when helping is likely to benefit the helper in some way (e.g. when there is a possibility of receiving a reward or avoiding punishment). Therefore, the hypothesis is limited in its ability to explain all forms of helping behaviour.
