Details: Task 3
In this week’s Task, you will explore an important concept: prosocial behavior.

Play Video
Read the chapter Helping and Prosocial Behavior
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.
Who are Daniel Goleman and Chade-Meng Tan? On the same Word document, briefly tell who they are in 50+ words each.
After your research, reading, and defining the terms, do you agree with the information shared in the short video? Explain your position of “yes” or “no” in 100+ words on the Word document.
In the video below, Tracy Spinrad, Ph.D., School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University Symposium, discusses the scientific methodology and prosocial behavior experimentation.
