Find and watch videos online of the television show What would you do?
On a Word document answer the question – What did you observe about the behaviors?
The events in the episodes address whether regular people (the bystanders) will act pro-socially or not. As your text states: all people do not help equally, as there may be costs and benefits of helping; some events are situational.
Revisit your definition of prosocial behavior.
On the Word document you have started, write out your definition of prosocial behavior.
Now look up the words:
1. altruism
2. mindfulness
3. emotional intelligence (EI).
Write out the definitions on the same Word document.
