Chill-inducing music enhances altruism in humans
Music is a universal feature of human cultures, and it has both fascinated and troubled many researchers. In this paper we show through the dictator game (DG) that an individual's listening to preferred "chill-inducing" music may promote altruistic behavior that extends beyond the bounds of kin selection or reciprocal altruism. Participants were 22 undergraduate and postgraduate students who we...
متن کاملEthics and Altruism Altruism in humans: an evolutionary approach
Altruism was originally defi ned as a cooperative act infl icting a cost to the donor and only giving a benefi t to the recipient. However, no study has ever conclusively demonstrated the existence of altruistic behaviours that do not give any short-or long-term benefi ts to donors. Th erefore, the term altruism is generally used for costly behaviours that may potentially also be benefi cial fo...
متن کاملAltruism predicts mating success in humans.
In order for non-kin altruism to evolve, altruists must receive fitness benefits for their actions that outweigh the costs. Several researchers have suggested that altruism is a costly signal of desirable qualities, such that it could have evolved by sexual selection. In two studies, we show that altruism is broadly linked with mating success. In Study 1, participants who scored higher on a sel...
متن کاملThe evolution of altruism in humans.
Humans are an intensely social species, frequently performing costly behaviors that benefit others. Efforts to solve the evolutionary puzzle of altruism have a lengthy history, and recent years have seen many important advances across a range of disciplines. Here we bring together this interdisciplinary body of research and review the main theories that have been proposed to explain human proso...
متن کاملPartner choice creates competitive altruism in humans.
Reciprocal altruism has been the backbone of research on the evolution of altruistic behaviour towards non-kin, but recent research has begun to apply costly signalling theory to this problem. In addition to signalling resources or abilities, public generosity could function as a costly signal of cooperative intent, benefiting altruists in terms of (i) better access to cooperative relationships...
