Discuss why people help or do not help using the decision-stage model and arousal-cost-reward model

What will be an ideal response?


The decision-stage model of helping says that you go through five stages in deciding to help: (1) you notice the situation; (2) you interpret it as one in which help is needed; (3) you assume personal responsibility; (4) you choose a form of assistance; and (5) you carry out that assistance.

The arousal-cost-reward model of helping says that we make decisions to help by calculating the costs and rewards of helping.
