Zusammenfassung

Prosoziales Verhalten ist ein Überbegriff für viele verschiedene Verhaltensweisen, die anderen Menschen nützen oder einen Vorteil bringen, wie z.B. Spendenverhalten, zivilcouragiertes Verhalten, oder Hilfeverhalten. Besonders einflussreich waren in diesem Bereich Forschungen zum Bystander-Effekt. Dieser besagt, dass die individuelle Bereitschaft zu einer Hilfeleistung mit zunehmender Anzahl anwesender Personen (Bystander) substanziell abnimmt. Erklärt wird dieser Effekt überwiegend durch drei distinkte Prozesse: Diffusion von Verantwortung, Pluralistische Ignoranz und Bewertungsangst. Neben evolutionären Überlegungen wird prosoziales Verhalten häufig auch auf Basis der Austauschtheorie/ökonomischen Theorie beschrieben und erklärt. Klassische Forschungen konnten zudem zeigen, dass die Entscheidung zu helfen (oder nicht) bestimmten psychologischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten folgt und gut mittels eines sequenziellen Stufenmodells beschrieben werden kann. Am Ende des Kapitels stellen wir die wichtigsten neueren Forschungen zu zivilcouragiertem Verhalten vor, v.a. weil diese teilweise von den Befunden zu klassischem Hilfeverhalten abweichen bzw. durch andere psychologische Prozesse erklärt werden können.
