Unit 9 – Helping & Prosocial Behavior
Reflections
Reflection 1
I learned that people are less likely to help when many others are around. This surprised me because I thought groups would help more.
Reflection 2
The bystander effect made me realize why emergencies can sometimes be ignored in public places.
Reflection 3
Learning about empathy helped me understand why some people naturally help others more often.
Reflection 4
I found it interesting that helping can be both selfless and selfish at the same time.
