Document Summary

If people are in trouble and it is their own fault, people are less likely to help: prosocial role models, bryan and test (1967, attractive female motorcyclist is broken down on the side of the road. In one condition, the motorcyclist is broken down by herself. If there is a pleasant smell around, people are more likely to help because they are in a better mood: situational factor studies, piliavin et al. (1969-1975) If there was blood, people were less likely to help because blood is a cost of helping. If you are in a positive emotional state, you are less likely to help if there is a chance that your mood might be ruined: gratitude, expressing gratitude increases future prosocial action. If you thank someone for something, then you are more likely to get help from that person again.
