Question

It’s not joy, but a hypothesis developed by Daniel Batson links empathy and this behavior. James Andreoni explains an “impure” form of this behavior using the “warm glow.” In a paper titled for this behavior, Herbert Simon argues that without this behavior, the paradox of voting would not exist. Ernst Fehr found that an emotionally-driven form of this behavior motivated group members to punish free-riders in a public goods game. Greed aversion, guilt aversion, and this behavior are competing explanations for participant offers in the (*) dictator game. Gary Becker argues that this behavior within the family is not fully (-5[1])explained by the evolutionary origin (10[1])of this behavior via kin selection. (10[1])Egoism (10[2])is contrasted with, for 10 points, what cooperative behavior where individuals benefit another’s welfare without benefiting themselves? ■END■ (0[1])
