Objective: Our study aims to examine the mediating role of prosocial moral reasoning, emotion regulation, and emotion lability in the relation between temperamental characteristics and prosocial behaviour. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a sample of 202 students were recruited through random multistage sampling method. The participants were interviewed about their prosocial moral reasonin...

Introduction Volunteerism is a sustained prosocial activity, and young adults are one of the most important targets for organizations recruiting volunteers. Empathy altruistic social value orientation measured by decomposed game dispositional traits that might foster engagement in volunteerism. Material methods Using self-report online-based questionnaire study on two groups (aged 18-35, N = 22...

Altruism or ‘regard for others’ can encourage self-restraint among generators of negative externalities, thereby mitigating the externality problem. We explore how introducing impure altruism into standard regulatory settings alters regulatory prescriptions. We show that the optimal calibration of both quantitative controls and externality taxes are affected. It also leads to surprising results...

The role of neuromodulators in the enforcement of cooperation is still not well understood. Here, we provide evidence that intranasal applied oxytocin, an important hormone for modulating social behavior, enhances the inclination to sanction free-riders in a social dilemma situation. Contrary to the notion of oxytocin being a pro-social hormone, we found that participants treated with oxytocin ...

This paper builds on altruistic locking which is an extension of 2PL. It allows more relaxed rules as compared to 2PL. But altruistic locking too enforces some rules which disallow some valid schedules (present in VSR and CSR) to be passed by AL. This paper proposes a multiversion variant of AL which solves this problem. The report also discusses the relationship or comparison between different...

Ethics has traditionally been the domain of philosophers, pursuing their investigations a priori, since social experimentation is not an option. After Axelrod's work, artiicial life (ALife) methods have been applied to social simulation. Here we use an ALife simulation to pursue experiments with ethics. We use a utilitarian model for assessing what is ethical, as it ooers a computationally clea...

Assigning a subjective value to a contribution to a public good often requires reflection. For many reasons, this reflection may be put off, reinforcing the underprovision of public goods. We hypothesise that nudging individuals to reflect on whether to contribute to a public good leads to the formation of issue-specific altruistic preferences. The hypothesis is tested in a large-scale field ex...

Customer satisfaction and customer loyalty are indicators of competitiveness for companies. In this work we considered the analysis relationship be- tween through a logistic regression model.
