Preferred term

prosocial behavior  

Definition

  • Prosocial behavior typically refers to any action that benefits others, such as sharing, helping, cooperating, and comforting. In contrast to altruistic behavior, which is viewed as being motivated by a genuine concern for the well-being of another person, prosocial behavior is not generally associated with a primary motivational orientation toward being kind to others.
