Prosocial Behavior Of Individuals In Earthquakes And Neutral Situations

Cooperation is a kind of prosocial behavior in which two or more than two individuals perform as a team in order to reach the same purpose.Any decisions made by individual when facing unexpected natural disaster will has great influence on his and others lives and property.The only way of make the best interest of both individual and others and survive from natural disaster is through prosocial behavior.But because of the differentiate from team partners,here are some differences in various degree on cooperation.The purpose of our research is to discuss whether under the circumstances of earthquake individual takes competitive measure or perform as a team,and to understands if the members of the team are coming from the in-group or out-group gain more advantages.Preliminary experiment is to use Gross Emotional Video Material Technique for first round screening,and to assemble 67 college students to make each evaluation of two video materials.Formal experiment is activation of the dictator game.To perform the two(situation factor:earthquake scene and neutral scene)by two(cooperation partner:quake victims and non-quake victims)mixture experimental design.Among,Situational factors is variable between subjects,cooperative objects is variable in subjects.we called 70 college students to take part in the experiment,35 in the neutral condition,35 in the earthquake situation.Result:(1)Cooperative partner of main effects are significant,which means huge different distributing performant to the quake victims and non-quake victims.F(1,68)=182.46,p<.001 ?2=.728(2)The total distribution scores and groups interaction have significant effect:and then to use simple effect analysis F(1,68)=12.72,p=.001,?2=.728.On control group,the total distribution scores of quake victims are distinct higher than the non-quake victims F(1,68)=145.77,p<.001;on experimental group,the total distribution scores of quake victims also are distinct higher than the non-quake victims F(1,68)=49.41,p<.001.Ronclusions(1)Watching the earthquake situation video had a higher level of prosocial than those who viewed the neutral situation video.(2)In-group favoritism occurs when in-group members are in a dangerous sit-uation.(3)Out-grout favoritism occurs when out-grout members are in a dangerous situation.
