prosocial behavior and altruism
Prosocial behavior refers to any action or behavior intended to benefit others or society as a whole. It involves acts of kindness, cooperation, and empathy towards others. Altruism, on the other hand, specifically refers to the selfless concern for the well-being of others, where individuals act purely out of a desire to help others without expecting anything in return. It involves sacrificing one's own interests or resources for the benefit of others.
