Lesson 2 Valed2

Prosocial behaviors are intended to help others through actions like helping, sharing, comforting and cooperating. They can be proactive to benefit oneself, reactive to needs of others, or altruistic without expectation of personal gain. Antisocial behaviors disregard the rights of others and include aggression, violence, lying, bullying and criminal acts. Both behaviors are influenced by evolution, socialization, and environmental factors from a young age. Early intervention is important to address antisocial behaviors before they become entrenched.

BEHAVIOR
• Prosocial behavior
- Are those intended to help other people.
- These actions are characterized by a concern for the rights, feelings,
and welfare of other people.
- Prosocial behavior includes a wide range of actions such as helping,
sharing, comforting, and cooperating.
- Having an empathy and concern for others can be described as
prosocial behaviors.
Types of Prosocial
Behavior
Proactive: These are prosocial actions
that serve self-benefitting purposes.
Reactive: These are actions that are
performed in response to individual
needs.
Altruistic: These include actions that
are meant to help others without any
expectations of personal gain.
 Proactive prosocial actions were found
to often be motivated by status-linked
goals and popularity within a group.
 Altruistic prosocial behaviors, on the
other hand, were more closely linked to
being liked by peers and achieving
shared goals.
Other researchers have proposed that
prosocial behaviors can be divided into
helping, sharing, or comforting subtype
Causes Prosocial Behavior
1. Evolutionary influences:
- Evolutionary psychologists often explain prosocial behaviors in terms
of the principles of natural selection.
2. Personal benefits:
- Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of
factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-
image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that
they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons
(performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).
3. Reciprocal behavior:
- The norm of reciprocity suggests that when people
do something helpful for someone else, that person
feels compelled to help out in return.
4. Socialization:
- Behaviors are fostered during childhood and
adolescence as adults encourage children to share,
act kindly, and help others.
Other Influences on Prosocial Behavior
1. Fear of judgment or embarrassment:
- People sometimes fear leaping to assistance only to discover that their help
was unwanted or unwarranted.
- In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no
action.
2. How other people respond:
- People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations,
particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity.
- If no one else seems to be reacting, then individuals become less likely to
respond as well.
3. The number of people present:
- The more people who are around, the less personal responsibility people feel in
a situation. This is known as the diffusion of responsibility.
The Bystander Effect
 One of the most notable
examples of how the situation
can impact helping behaviors.
 Refers to the tendency for
people to become less likely
to assist a person in distress
when there are a number of
other people also present.
How to Take Action
1. Notice what is happening
2. Interpret the event as an
emergency
3. Experience feelings of
responsibility
4. Believe that they have the
skills to help
5. Make a conscious choice to
offer assistance
Things That You Can Do To Improve Prosocial
Actions In Yourself And In Others:
1. Develop your skills
-One reason why people fail to help is that they feel like they
don't really have the necessary skills to be of assistance.
2. Model prosocial actions
- If you are a parent, provide a good example for your
children by letting them see you engage in helpful actions.
3. Praise acts of kindness
-When you see kids (or even adults) doing kind things for
others, let them know you appreciate it.
What is antisocial behavior?
1. Disruptive acts characterized by covert and overt hostility and intentional
aggression toward others.
2. Exist along a severity continuum and include repeated violations of social rules,
defiance of authority and of the rights of others, deceitfulness, theft, and
reckless disregard for self and others.
3. Can be identified in children as young as three or four years of age. If left
unchecked these coercive behavior patterns will persist and escalate in severity
over time, becoming a chronic behavioral disorder.
4. may be overt, involving aggressive actions against siblings, peers, parents,
teachers, or other adults, such as verbal abuse, bullying and hitting; or covert,
involving aggressive actions against property, such as theft, vandalism, and fire-
Causes and symptoms
Antisocial behavior develops and is shaped in the context of coercive
social interactions within the family , community, and educational
environment.
It is also influenced by the child's temperament and irritability,
cognitive ability, the level of involvement with deviant peers, exposure
to violence, and deficit of cooperative problem-solving skills.
Multiple risk factors for development and persistence of antisocial
behaviors include genetic, neurobiological, and environmental stressors
beginning at the prenatal stage and often continuing throughout the
childhood years.
High-risk factors in the family setting include the following:

1. Parental history of antisocial behaviors


2. Parental alcohol and drug abuse
3. Chaotic and unstable home life
4. Absence of good parenting skills
5. Use of coercive and corporal punishment
6. Parental disruption due to divorce , death, or other
separation
7. Parental psychiatric disorders, especially maternal
depression
8. Economic distress due to poverty and unemployment
What constitutes antisocial behavior?
There are three main categories for antisocial
behavior, depending on how many people are
affected:
1. Personal antisocial behavior is when a
person targets a specific individual or group.
2. Nuisance antisocial behavior is when a
person causes trouble, annoyance or
suffering to a community.
3. Environmental antisocial behavior is when a
person’s actions affect the wider
environment, such as public spaces or
buildings.
When to call/consult the doctor?
Parents and teachers who notice a pattern of repeated
lying, cheating, stealing , bullying, hitting, noncompliance,
and other disruptive behaviors should not ignore these
symptoms.
Early screening of at-risk children is critical to deterring
development of a persistent pattern of antisocial behavior.
Early detection and appropriate intervention, particularly
during the preschool years and middleschool years, is the
best means of interrupting the developmental trajectory of
antisocial behavior patterns.
 Serious childhood antisocial behaviors can lead to
diagnoses of conduct disorder (CD) or oppositional
defiant disorder (ODD).
What Is Antisocial Personality Disorder?

lack of empathy and regard for other
people.
