Prosocial Behaviour: Exploring Empathy, Altruism, Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence

What did you observe about the behaviours?


Blood donation is an example of prosocial behaviour.

If the human being has been so unique, that is partially because he has succeeded in building large social networks of shared care and information sharing. In other words, in several respects we are linked, a pattern that can be summed up in one concept, the pro-social behaviour. Then we can see precisely in the series “What would you do” what is prosocial behaviour, what is communicated and how the phenomena of empathy and co-operation are linked. I have found that the events in the episodes address whether regular people the “bystanders” will act pro-socially in three different viewpoints allow one to understand empathic ability. In view of both, the mediation function of this phenomenon can only be distinguished in prosocial behaviour like empathy as a consequence of the first two, cognitive process or the encounter. The results suggest that, while it was not assumed that it was a causative cause, but a mediator, the First Case was more closely linked to the actions of the other. Thus, the degree of dispositional empathy, the connection between children and mothers, the kind of situation in which empathy exists, the age of children (MacCann, 2010).
The benefits are correlated not only with an optimisation of individual emotional status, but also with greater intellectual competence in the cooperative behaviour, where cognitive abilities such as rationale and mastery of functional information are encouraged during school time. It may also be said that the promotion of pro-social behaviour, once it matures into maturity, will become a significant psychological protecting mechanism to the subject in future. Whilst it seems paradoxical, it means learning how to suit the rest and enjoy its security in some aspects, to grow, mature and acquire autonomy

altruism

The philosopher Augusto Compte coins the idea of altruism. altruism may often be driven by incentives such as personal contentment, avoidance of pain or remorse. In this way, regarding altruism and the works already described, altruism aims for the good of the other and it seems that this results from an empathy between the other person's and their own feelings. The hypothesis of altruism and empathy gives empathy. The hypothesis of altruism and empathy implies that empathy creates altruism, and we can support for only one purpose. There are also no reasons for being helpful in the relation between empathy and altruism. the fine arts, NGOs, humanitarian charities—depend on the generosity of wealthy citizens with altruistic impulses. 
Mindfulness
Awareness is a basic activity, meaning that will be completely aware and present. It focuses on inner ideas, emotions, body and atmosphere. It is often aimed at. For example, we can practice informally. Bring attention to our everyday lives, our job, our home, our contacts, etc. It can be formal practice like meditation (MacCann, 2010). 

Emotional Intelligence (EI)

Emotional intelligence, a term invented by Peter Salovey, may be conceptualized as "such a relational intelligence that requires the capacity to track and comprehend one's own emotion and those of others. Emotional intelligence is therefore a mechanism that enables one to understand how we can manipulate both our feelings and our interpreting of other people's emotional situations in an adaptive and intellectual manner. In terms of socializing and adapting to the surrounding world, this part of the psychological human component plays a crucial role.  For example, when we think very closely about the role of our feelings in our everyday lives, we soon understand that there are numerous moments when they affect our lives decisively, even though we don't. We may be wondering: (1) Have I purchased my car and compared it to other versions and makes it profitably? (2) Have I selected my wife because it was the right choice objectively? (3) Is my work the right pay for me? (3) Many of our preferences are more or less emotionally affected.
