| Description | The research is focused on prosocial behaviour. The authors are trying to answer this question: Will a prosocially acting person demand more prosocial behaviour than a person with smaller tendency to prosocial behaviour. The authors also concentrated on the relation between the upper stated tendencies and gender. The research group consisted of 340 respondents. Each of them completed a questionnaire identifying tendencies to act prosocially and to demand prosocial behaviour. According to the results there is a positive relation between the tendency to prosocial behaviour and the tendency to demand prosocial behaviour. Gender has no effect on the tendency to prosocial behaviour but influences the tendency to demand prosocial behaviour - women have stronger tendency to demand prosocial behaviour than men. |
