Question 1: Describe your implementation of kindness: what you did, where you implemented it, and to whom. What reactions did you receive from others? How did those reactions make you feel?
Question 2: Consider your own motivations for prosocial behavior. How does social exchange theory explain the ways in which you choose to help others? How do social norms and reciprocal altruism predict how and when you help others?
Question 3: Per the Chapter 9 readings, there are two opposing theories of why we help others- the negative state relief model and the empathy-altruism model. Compare these two models, and explain which you most agree with and why. Offer examples illustrating these models at work in your own life.
Question 4: If you are a faith-based person, explain how your faith helped you implement your helping behavior. If you are not a faith-based person, explain what philosophy, belief system, or values you connected to helping behavior. How might the concept of social responsibility norms play a role here?
Question 5: Review the Topic 8 resources on Servant Leadership. What elements of servant leadership relate to what you learned about prosocial behavior? How might you use the tenants of Servant Leadership and the concepts from your readings to be a better servant?
