Discuss prosocial models for increasing prosocial behavior, from both a non-emergency and emergency standpoint. Please give examples. Do such models work if through the media? Give an example

What will be an ideal response?


Answer:
Prosocial models generally refers to whether people will "imitate" or adopt their own behavior to be more prosocial if they see others behaving prosocially. Merely seeing a large container near the door of a museum induces to contribute. In an emergency, the mere presence of a helpful bystander will increase helping among others on the scene. In a fund drive shown on television, volunteers will be shown answering phones and talking about contributions, with the goal of influencing viewers to contribute.
