Abstract

most relevant theories of prosocial behavior aim at exploring and understanding helping motivations from an evolutionary perspective. this article summarizes findings from research on prosocial behavior from both a socio-economic and psychological perspective. building on literature exploring the basic processes and determinant variables of helping, we propose a stochastic and dynamic model to simulate prosocial behaviors over time and recreate evolutionary processes of helping behaviors. such a mathematical model formalizes a procedure for dynamic simulations, including agent-based modeling, which implies non-linear dynamics of prosocial processes underlying helping motivations. practical implications for organizations and societies are addressed.
