Module: Social Psychology


Week 11 – Prosocial Behaviour, Helping Behaviour, Bystander Intervention


Session Outline
 This area of helping and prosocial is big within social psychology
 Human beings as social creatures are affected by the presence of other
people
 We behave in certain ways with members of our own and when being around
other groups
 We are going to be looking at situational factors
 Motivational factors  altruism, empathy and ego, and also a mixture of all
three.
 Other factors
 Is helping truly selfless or do we get something out of it?
 Is it positive?


Key terms defined
Altruism means doing things for the good of others rather than for ourselves – just
giving to others.

Helping behaviour
Actions that are intended to provide some benefit to or improvement of the wellbeing
of others – it doesn’t refer to emergency situations.

Prosocial behaviours
 Helping might not be a prosocial behaviour – might just be someone’s job like
a health care practitioner, a nurse etc.
 Sometimes used to refer to where someone’s motive is unknown
 What’s the opposite of prosocial behaviour? Antisocial (disruptive acts,
tension and aggression towards other).

Bystander Effect
 You would think that the more people witness something, the more they get
involved, but actually less people would help.
 Anyone who witnesses an emergency situation where help is needed.
 Might stand and kind of just watch
