Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosocial behavior is inherently meant to benefit others or society as a whole, and is generally motivated by altruism, empathy, and a desire to help. Displaying reactance (a resistance to being forced to do something or to being told what to do) is not a goal of prosocial behavior, and may even be seen as acting in opposition to prosocial impulses. On the other hand, increasing social status, managing self-image, and managing moods and emotions can all be potential motivations for engaging in prosocial behavior, though they may not be the primary or sole goals.
