Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosocial behavior is behavior that is performed with the goal of benefiting another person or group, without any expectation of reward or compensation. Cheering on your team (choice D) may be a form of social support, but it is not necessarily prosocial behavior, as there is not necessarily a goal to benefit another person. Additionally, not everyone may appreciate the help provided through prosocial behavior (choice B), and it is possible for prosocial behavior to be motivated by both altruism and self-interest (so choice C is incorrect).
