Week 7 Exercise: Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social
psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation
such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge
component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses
on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and
helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more
uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the
area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander
intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your
thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With
each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask
yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door
for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere
compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more
patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social
settings that involve interactions with others (rather than
something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal
is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions
throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood,
feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small
notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot
down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to
engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you
feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial
behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19
restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such
behaviors with your family/people with whom you are
sheltering.
You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others
virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls,
emails, etc...). This assignment will be more meaningful if you
are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers,
but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to
others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or
reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors
you engaged in, others' reactions to these behaviors, and your
assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or
anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social
settings this week in your readings. Connect what you learned
or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial
behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your
research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned
readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing
any references used in APA format.
Describe any new insights you gained through this experience
about your interactions with others on a daily basis, including
any behaviors you wish to change or to continue.
Use the features of PowerPoint to your advantage to
communicate your ideas – include pictures, audio recorded
narration, speaker's notes, video, links, etc. as appropriate to
enhance your ideas.
Include an APA formatted title slide and reference slide. APA
components such as an abstract, headings, etc. are not required
since this is a PowerPoint presentation.

A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others.

With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible. At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc. Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors. At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
  • 2. PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering. You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc...).

Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing any references used in APA format. Describe any new insights you gained through this experience about your interactions with others on a daily basis, including any behaviors you wish to change or to continue.
