Description
Prosocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Prosocial behavior is characterized by a concern for the rights, feelings, and welfare of other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.
The Handbook of Social Psychology, C. Daniel Batson explains that prosocial behaviors refer to "a broad range of actions intended to benefit one or more people other than oneself-behaviors such as helping, comforting, sharing and cooperation."
The term prosocial behavior originated during the 1970s and was introduced by social scientists as an antonym for the term antisocial behavior.
