Pro-social models

Pro-social models are frameworks that explain why individuals choose to act in ways that benefit others or society. These models examine factors such as personal values, empathy, social norms, and the influence of the environment that encourage helpful, cooperative behavior. They help us understand the motivations behind actions like volunteering, sharing, or giving support, emphasizing that such behaviors are often driven by a combination of internal principles and external social cues. Essentially, pro-social models illuminate the psychological and social processes that foster kindness and cooperation within communities.
