finding “selfish” components in them. Others have argued that the terms “selfish” and “altruistic” should be dropped completely when discussing animal behavior, as they describe human behavior and may not be directly Applicable to instinctual animal activity. What is clear, though, is that h...
This behavior is still not necessarily altruistic, as the “giving” behavior of the actor is based on the expectation that it will be the “receiver” of the behavior in the future, termed reciprocal altruism. Reciprocal altruism requires that individuals repeatedly encounter each other, often the...
In this paper, we argue that costly signaling theory, a well-established framework in biology and economics, may be useful to shed light on the individual differences in human unconditional altruism. Based on costly signaling theory, we propose and show that unconditional altruistic behavior is ...

Our responsiveness to seeing others in distress accounts for variability in helping behavior from early in development, according to a study published September 25 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Tobias Grossmann of the University of Virginia,
. For the “heterogeneous group”, the cells were also reciprocally tagged (i.e. non-tagged control mimic-transfected cells mixed with GFP/RFP-tagged miR-125b mimic-transfected mix) to negate away the effect that overexpression of fluorescent proteins might have on the cells’ behavior. A ...
3.Social capital theory provides a possible mechanism which can break through non-cooperative game dilemma from three aspects: collective action dilemma,information asymmetry and reciprocityaltruistic behavior.社会资本理论在解决集体行动困境、信息共享以及互惠利他行为三个方面提供了走出非合作博弈困境的可能。
The empirical work available now to address this question by tracing altruism's phylogenetic and ontogenetic origins provides compelling evidence that altruistic behavior is deeply rooted in our biology. From the phylogenetic perspective, altruistic behavior is not unique to humans but also found in ...
