Question 1
According to the authors, what is an important factor limiting prosociality?
a) Costly to the ingroup
b) Costly to the family
c) Costly to the self
d) Costly to the other
Answer Rationale:
Justification: The authors mention that prosocial behavior can be limited by the
personal costs associated with it, as they can be psychological as well as material. As
personal costs increase, helping behavior decreases. This is because humans have finite
physiological, cognitive, and social resources, and when they invest these resources in
others, they may have less for themselves.
” An important factor limiting prosociality is that it can be costly to the self”.

Question 2
How do the authors describe the relationship between personal resources
available and person resources that can be shared?
a) as a negative relationship
b) as a positive relationship
c) as a win-win relationship
d) as a non-zero-sum relationship
Answer Rationale:
The authors describe the relationship between personal resources available and
personal resources that can be shared as a negative relationship. They argue that
humans have a finite pool of resources, such as time, effort, or worry. When people use
these resources for their own well-being and maintaining a positive self-image, they
may have less available to share with others, leading to reduced prosocial behavior.
“Investing personal resources, such as money, time, effort, or worry about others
decreases resources left to the individual, as humans have only finite physiological,
cognitive, and social resources”
