Obedience can be a good thing. i. Ex. If you weren’t obedient in school during a fire then you might die. III. Prosocial behavior. a. This is voluntary and benefits others. b. When are we Prosocial?i. There are 5 steps that we take to decide to be Prosocial. 1. Notice something is happening, interpret event as an emergency, take responsibility for providing help, and provide help. Lets break those down a bit. 2. Notice something is happening- this is knowing that something is going wrong.Some ways this could not happen thus not cause Prosocial behavior to happen would be distraction. a.

Some were told they were late some were told they had time to. In the door way to the building a person was doubled over complaining of pain.

You assume that someone else is/has already helped so you don’t. b. An experiment was done on this as well. People were set up in an interview type situation. They communicated through intercom. The first set it was just the person and the confederate. The second was the person with 2 other people and the third was with the person and 3 other people. During the interviews one person pretented to have a seizure. Within 2 minutues or less 100% of the first went for help. 80% went in the second group and 60% went with the last group.
