Humans are genuinely social beings. For the majority of our time, we dwell in social situations or think about self in relation to others. Our social thoughts and actions are directed towards understanding and responding to the thoughts and actions of others. Examples of prosocial interactions in everyday life include experiencing others’ emotional distress, volunteering time to help others, offering comfort towards others in physical pain, reciprocating favors, cooperating and sharing goods, or making charitable donations.
