“…To further contemporary discussions on the topic (e.g., Batson 2022; Brick et al 2023), rather than considering egoism as an “independent” motivation, we posit that a pro-ego component exists in each of Batson, Ahmad, and Stocks’s (2011) motivations for acting prosocially, or sharing in this case. To develop our proposition, Andreoni's (1989, 1990) concept of impure altruism is a relevant starting point.…”

“…Scholars have devoted considerable attention to investigating prosocial behaviors, which have been described as a broad range of actions intended to benefit one or more people other than oneself (e.g., Batson 2022; Pfattheicher, Nielsen, and Thielmann 2022; Septianto, Seo, and Paramita 2021). The complex nature of prosociality as a social phenomenon means that it can take the form of behaviors such as helping (Price, Feick, and Audrey 1995), comforting (Turley and O’Donohoe 2012), sharing (Baker and Baker 2016), cooperating (Ozanne and Ozanne 2021), celebrating (Brick et al 2023), exchanging (Blau 1964), and accessing (Bardhi and Eckhardt 2012). Key among marketing studies is Belk's theory on sharing (Belk 2007, 2010, 2014a, b, 2016), which broadly refers to the “act and process of distributing what is ours to others for their use and/or the act or process of receiving or taking something from others for our use” (Belk 2007, p. 127).…”

Biohacking COVID-19: Sharing Is Not Always Caring

This netnographic study investigates how and why people engage with citizen science initiatives and share insights from them in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this research focuses on biohacking, a form of citizen science in which individuals conduct innovative but controversial self-experiments. In a context of ideological, behavioral, and emotional tensions, biohackers seek to do what they consider to be “the right thing” for themselves and others. Some biohackers believed that governmental “solutions” for the pandemic were not “correct or the best” and shared scientifically unproven protocols to develop, for example, homemade vaccines. However, in many cases, biohackers may unintentionally create harm while intending to do good by sharing such “solutions.” In this vein, this research shows that sharing is not always caring, as biohacking COVID-19 exemplifies. Although sharing is a form of prosocial behavior, it has different motivations that may invert its epistemic prosocial orientation to an antisocial one. The consequence of this orientation is new challenges, as well as strengthening old challenges, for policymakers in facing public crises, such as pandemics. The prescriptions for policymakers offered in this paper aim to help reduce such an impact on governmental efforts to tackle such collective crises.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) transcends cultural, social and economic boundaries, affecting countless individuals globally. Recovery for IPV survivors is supported by their social networks, yet the readiness of these networks is often poorly understood. This perspective paper proposes an extension to existing network‐oriented IPV support models by integrating a focus on the readiness and well‐being of informal supporters towards the goal of enhancing IPV survivor recovery through effective networks. This paper presents the extended social network‐oriented support model, incorporating the Informal Supporter Readiness Inventory. This tool assesses the readiness of informal supporters, incorporating factors, such as normative and individual beliefs about IPV, and context‐specific factors, to enable identification and targeted assistance where needed. Additionally, the proposed model emphasises the importance of supporting the well‐being of informal supporters, who frequently endure elevated levels of stress, anxiety and depression. By integrating these elements, the extended social network‐oriented support model is designed to help professional supporters foster resilient and sustainable support networks for IPV survivors, with potential applicability across various healthcare disciplines. The extended model underscores the necessity of assessing and fostering both the readiness and well‐being of informal supporters to enhance the recovery journey for IPV survivors.

Advancement of life and death education research: recommending implementation of the Life + Death Education Framework for teaching and research purposes

Life and death education is a distinct field of study that has potential practicality and life relevance for us to consider. For example, one notable inquiry pertaining to life education teaching entails appreciation and theoretical understanding of quality life functioning (e.g., a person’s desire to attain spiritual wisdom vs. a person’s desire to attain immense financial wealth). Our research undertakings recently involved the development of a blueprint or framework, which we termed as the ‘Life + Death Education Framework’. This framework is intended to provide relevant information that may serve to assist educators, stakeholders, caregivers, etc. with their teaching practices of life and death education. We premise that to date, there is no clear consensus or agreement among educators as to what one is expected (e.g., specific learning outcome) to teach to students who wish to study and learn about life and death education (e.g., do we introduce to students the metaphysical lens about death?). Moreover, from our point of view, the Life + Death Education Framework may yield insightful guidelines and life-related benefits, such as the heightening of a person’s well-being and/or his or her daily life functioning. As such, then, the focus of the present theoretical-conceptual article is for us to provide an in-depth narrative of the Life + Death Education Framework and how this framework, or potential universal blueprint, could help introduce and clarify our proposition of a life functioning-related concept known as ‘self well-being’. Self well-being, for us, is an alternative nomenclature that may be used in place of subjective well-being.
