Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Altruism is defined as selfless behavior intended to benefit others, so the most likely dependent variable would be helping behavior. The study would likely measure the frequency or extent to which participants engage in helping behavior. Persuasion and aggression are not directly related to altruism, and frustration-aggression is a specific theory about the relationship between frustration and aggressive behavior.
