What characterizes prosocial behavior?

  1. It is inherently antisocial

  2. It involves positive, constructive, and helpful actions

  3. It is learned exclusively through punishment

  4. It refers to memory retention techniques

The correct answer is: It involves positive, constructive, and helpful actions

Prosocial behavior involves positive, constructive, and helpful actions towards others. Option A is incorrect because prosocial behavior is antithetical to antisocial behavior, which involves intentional harm towards others. Option C is incorrect because prosocial behavior is learned through positive reinforcement and modeling, rather than punishment. Option D is incorrect because prosocial behavior refers to actions and behaviors, rather than memory retention techniques.
