Unit 9 – Social Psychology
Topic 9.6
How can a sociologist's perspective on group dynamics potentially explain occurrences of altruism?
They would assert all groups invariably encourage selfish behavior, negating any possibility of altruism.
They could argue that individuals only act altruistically when isolated from societal influences.
They might state that altruism is more likely to occur within cohesive groups to maintain harmony and foster social bonds.
They would insist altruistic acts cannot exist in group settings due to inherent competition for resources.
