Discuss prosocial models for increasing prosocial behavior, from both a non-emergency and emergency standpoint. Please give examples. Do such models work when they are portrayed through the media? Give an example

What will be an ideal response?

Prosocial models generally refer to whether people will "imitate" or adopt their own behavior to be more prosocial if they see others behaving prosocially. Merely seeing a large container near the door of a museum induces people to contribute. In an emergency, the mere presence of a helpful bystander will increase helping among others on the scene. In a fund drive shown on television, volunteers will be shown answering phones and talking about contributions, with the goal of influencing viewers to contribute.
