- Nature/ Nurture Debate
- Nurture
- Bandura's Social Learning Theory - we copy behaviour we see being rewarded ie helping
- Pavlov's Classical Conditioning - We are rewarded for helping and we feel good. We then associate helping with feeling good and we repeat it
- Skinner's Operant Conditioning - We maintain or increase behaviour that is rewarded
- Negative Reinforcement - Helping decreases your personal distress levels
- Nature
- Wilson's Theory of Kin (Kinship) - we are more likely to help members of our family to keep our genes continuing
- Altruism helps a person survive and helping genes are passed on
- Nurture
