Pro-social behavior
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pro-social behavior is behavior intended to benefit others or society as a whole. It is contrasted with anti-social behavior, which is intended to harm others. In both types of behavior, intention is the key determinant. By age 4 or 5, children should be adequately developed that they can be considered to exhibit pro- and anti-social behavior.
