Prosocial Media

This week we focused on the positive aspect of social media and its effects on society. The exposure through social media increases the availability for positive empathy and helping behavior. Prosocial behavior has the ability to foster positivity in our daily lives, triggering a pattern of behavior rather than a single action. Our accessibility to this behavior is associated with greater physical health, better relationships, and an overall better psychological well-being. Therefore, Prosocial behavior is invaluable for not only the recipient but the giver as well.
