“…Netto costs would be highest for the initiating individual, yet their act would serve the welfare of the group by effectively deterring free-riding, thereby increasing and stabilizing cooperation levels. According to our knowledge, no prior study has systematically addressed the question of whether costly peer punishment can be distinguished, conceptually and empirically, from moral courage (but see Kinnunen et al, 2015;Kinnunen & Windmann, 2013). Both are confrontational, antagonistic behaviors that satisfy the behavioral definition of (at least weak) altruism.…”

Abstract. Behavior is effectively altruistic to the degree that it is costly for the actor while benefiting others. In a series of preregistered studies, we constructed a 15-item self-report scale assessing three different facets of altruistic behavioral traits: help-giving, moral courage, and peer punishment. Item selection was performed with the help of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) procedures as implemented in the stuart package for R. Confirmatory factor analysis of the three-factor measurement model showed excellent fit, outperforming classical item selection procedures. The scale was structure-validated in a second sample using a multiple group model that showed full measurement and structural invariance. A pilot study shows correlations of the subscales with economic game decisions. We discuss the scale structure and potential applications.

“…Según el artículo de Kathryn las tradiciones son fundamentos esenciales del comportamiento altruista de los individuos que forman redes de parentesco que constituían el entorno social de nuestros antepasados 34 . Otro artículo afirma que existen diferencias culturales en la apreciación de las distintas formas de altruismo, lo que se expresa en modos diversos de apreciar el comportamiento altruista 35 .…”

Resumen: Los estudios sobre altruismo han producido en los últimos 20 años numerosas investigaciones que tratan de conocer mejor la conducta humana, considerada frecuentemente como algo enigmático. La teología aplicada a entender el amor al prójimo puede servirse provechosamente de este tipo de investigación para actualizar su método propio. Este artículo trata de ofrecer una revisión sistemática de los ensayos y artículos publicados desde 2010 para responder a las cuestiones pendientes en el estudio científico del altruismo que son más relevantes para la teología cristiana. Las conclusiones subrayarán el impacto que estos estudios tienen para una teología del amor en diálogo con las humanidades y las ciencias.

“…While large body of research has focused on negative interactions and cyberbullying on the Internet (see, e.g., Calvete, Orue, Estévez, Villardón, & Padilla, 2010), very little is known about prosocial behavior online, particularly when this behavior is not limited to social-media interactions with friends and family (Correa, Hinsley, & De Zúñiga, 2010) or gaming societies (e.g., Ang & Zaphiris, 2010;Wang & Wang, 2008). While prosocial behavior can encompass a large variety of otherregarding actions, in this study we focus on help-giving and moral courage: Two other-benefiting behaviors that are costly to the actor and have been in previous research suggested to be facets of a more general altruism construct (Kinnunen, Singh, & Windmann, 2015;Kinnunen & Windmann, 2013). We will examine how individual Moral courage manifests as a willingness to take action in situations that conflict with person's moral or sense of what is just (see, e.g., Lodge & Frydenberg, 2005;Poteat & Vecho, 2016).…”

The study addressed individual differences on two types of prosocial behavior on the Internet: help-giving/sharing and moral courage. A questionnaire to measure these behaviors was developed. We investigated the effects of the Big Five personality traits, sadistic traits, and values on help-giving and moral courage. We found that the willingness to help on the Internet was promoted by open personality, and the relationship was partly moderated by high weekly use of social media. The willingness to act morally courageous was promoted by open personality, inclination toward sadism, and self-transcendence values. Surprisingly, the relationship between moral courage and sadistic traits was not moderated by the time spent online. Willingness to donate to a charity was fostered by benevolence and universalism values. Future studies will need to replicate the results with behavioral observations.
