A la mitad de ellos se les pidió que predicaran sobre la Parábola del Buen Samaritano, ese hombre que se detuvo para ayudar a alguien que estaba malherido. A la otra mitad de los futuros pastores se les asignaron al azar diferentes temas de la Biblia. El día del examen, uno a uno, cada estudiante tenía que ir a otro edificio de la facultad y, en ese lugar, debían predicar su sermón para ser evaluados.A mitad de camino entre los dos edificios, los responsables del estudio habían puesto a un actor en postura de sufrimiento, quejándose de un fuerte dolor de estómago. Las preguntas que querían responder los investigadores eran: ¿Ayudarán estos futuros pastores a un desconocido en apuros? Y si es así, ¿cuál de los dos grupos estará más dispuesto a ayudarlo, los que han preparado su sermón sobre la Parábola del Samaritano o los que no?¿Qué crees tú que pasó? ¿Crees que el hecho de que hubieran estado días concentrados en el tema del servicio al prójimo fue un factor determinante para detenerse a ayudar? Yo quisiera creer que sí, que existe una coherencia entre lo que uno predica y lo que practica, pero no, ese no fue un factor determinante. A los poquísimos alumnos que se detuvieron, se les preguntó después por qué lo habían hecho y respondieron: «Porque me daba tiempo». Los que no se detuvieron simplemente comentaron: «Si me detenía a ayudar al hombre, llegaría tarde al examen». Y esta es la historia de nuestra vida: las prisas, los intereses personales, el individualismo... nos han generado una incapacidad de conectar, de empatizar, incluso de prestar atención a un ser humano en necesidad, o sea, de poner en práctica principios esenciales del evangelio.¿Qué factor es el que más pesa en tu vida a la hora de tomar decisiones? ¿Qué es lo que te mueve realmente a actuar, o a dejar de actuar, cuando andas con prisa? ¿Son circunstancias efímeras o son convicciones profundas? ¿Practicas tu religión solamente en sábado o permea tu rutina el resto de la semana? Ver más allá de lo inmediato es un nivel superior.«Quien abre los ojos a la primera visión, está en lo correcto; pero quien ve más allá, es superior».

Have you ever wondered why, despite our best intentions, we sometimes struggle to fully embrace altruism? Isn't it an intriguing question that probes the complexities of human nature? While many of us strive to be kind and considerate, there are times when self-interest and personal concerns can overshadow our altruistic tendencies.   So in this new episode of The Positive Change Podcast, I go deep into the relationship between ego and altruism and explain why developing a healthy ego benefits everyone.   Ever feel like there's a tiny version of yourself, a voice inside your head, always advocating for your own wants and needs? That's your ego, your personal cheerleader. But here's the thing: this cheerleader can sometimes hog the limelight, making you hesitate, doubt, or prioritise yourself over others. It's like having a backstage struggle between self-interest and selflessness.   But don't worry! We're not stuck in ego mode forever. According to psychologist C. Daniel Batson, genuine altruism involves caring for others without expecting anything in return, and he suggests that nurturing a healthy ego is the key.   In his book "Altruism in Humans," Batson highlights finding the right balance between self-care and caring for others. When our ego is in check, we can break free from self-centeredness and make a positive impact for ourselves and all beings.   So, join me in this podcast as I talk about how to nurture a healthy ego and altruistic spirit. Get ready to experience the joy and fulfilment that comes from selflessness. Are you in?

It's hard to predict how personality traits will affect behavior in new situations.We don't have a good grasp of the difference between a “new situation” and “a variant of an old situation.”Small differences in the situation (like recent good luck) can make a big difference in how traits like “helpfulness” are expressed. So you'll probably need to try it and see ("probe-sense-response"), rather than assume you can find out enough to predict ("sense-analyze-respond").Summary sources:John M.

Psicologia, comportamento. Em 1978 os psicólogos John Darley e Daniel Batson, criaram um experimento psicológico baseado na parábola bíblica.

In this episode, Tyler talks about altruism. He uses Daniel Batson's research titled, "Is Empathic Emotion a Source of Altruistic Motivation?" to illustrate the point that empathy might be tied to altruism. He leaves this episode on a cliffhanger about suffering.

Dr. Daniel Batson has a PhD in Social Psychology and Theology, and is an emeritus professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Tennessee and the University of Kansas. His distinguished career began in graduate school, in which he and his adviser, John Darley, designed and conducted what is now famously known as the Good Samaritan Study. This study subsequently fueled the so-called “situationist challenge.” He is also renown for defending “empathy-induced altruism” against Robert Cialdini’s selfishly-motivated altruism in a professional debate which played out over many years. In this podcast, we discuss these lines of work, and how they inform his opinions regarding the situationist challenge and his conceptualization of moral motivation.

This is another episode of the Self Development With Tactics podcast featuring the "Give and Take" by Adam Grant summary on the allencheng.com website. This time it is all about CHAPTER 8 and "The Scrooge Shift" so: an incredible interesting experiment that visualises that we are more likely to help people that are similar to us, a debate of Robert Cialdini and C. Daniel Batson about whether it is like we help others because it makes us feel better or it's pure altruism, the experiments helps to understand our likeness to do certain things because of our name, rare and uncommon things and how it changes our helping behaviour, group norms of giving and a comparison of the communities or system of two quite known platforms.

In this IMMERSIVE episode, “Empathy,” our goal is to immerse you in a soundscape that evokes empathy and persuade you to block empathy through rationalization. Later, we evoke empathic distress and give you ways to reduce this distress by cultivating something called empathic care. To preserve this immersive experience, we stripped out a lot of the reporting we did on the science of empathy. Here, you can find out more about the science. We’ll walk you through the episode, and point out materials – interviews we did with researchers, journal articles we dug up, books we read – that let you dig deeper into the research. SCENE: Harold Mitchell, a homeless man and you’re imagining what he’s thinking and feeling. WHAT THIS DOES: This experimental procedure was adapted for the show. It uses text from Daniel Batson’s research and has been shown to induce empathy in those who read the text. We elaborated on it by including audio of a Chicago homeless man (Ronald Davis) so that you could feel empathy before we define it. FIND OUT MORE: Read Batson’s The Neural Substrate of Human Empathy: Effects of Perspective-taking and Cognitive Appraisal Watch the full interview with Ronald Davis SCENE: The guests’ opinions of the homeless during a dinner party. WHAT THIS DOES: Gives you rationalizations that will help you block empathy. It also argues against rationalizations (but not intensely) The dinner party characters were given extensive interweaving backstories and core ideas to bring up during this improvised discussion. Many lines of research went into this construction. FIND OUT MORE: Listen to our full interview with Dan Batson and Jamil Zaki Read Behave by Robert Sapolsky Read Against Empathy by Paul Bloom   NARRATION: You see, when someone’s in need, you can think of them as a signal that triggers your empathy. And like any signal, you can BLOCK IT… and NOT feel empathy. And we often do it in one of THREE WAYS. By number 1,RATIONALIZING, which means coming up with reasons not to feel empathy. This is exactly what most of the people in the dinner party were doing. Number 2, You can escape… the situation. You can cross the street and that physically stops you from encountering the signal. Number 3… you can suppress this signal by helping… that would fulfill a person’s need and stop the person from making you feeling empathy. FIND OUT MORE: Listen to our full interview with Jamil Zaki and Tor Wager.     NARRATION: And here’s the thing: YOU CAN DEVELOP YOUR EMPATHIC CARE… It’s a skill to overcome your distress. FIND OUT MORE: Listen to our interview with Tor Wager (starting at 26:00) IN EXPLANATION: (Roshi Joan Halifax) You can reallocate your attention to a neutral place. For example, like the pressure of your feet on the floor.

On this episode Kurt discusses the blunder and ninja of the day, and the psychology of waiting and whether or not is a good or bad thing and if it affects your ability to persuade. Atmosphere can also include the tension in the air. Is there a rush, or are customers relaxed? What type of climate are you trying to create? Do you want a quick, fast decision, or do you want your customers to feel comfortable enough to stay for a while? An interesting study on what happens when you create an atmosphere of being rushed can be seen in the following example: Princeton University psychologists John Darley and Daniel Batson wanted to see how students would respond if they were in a situation replicating the biblical account of the Good Samaritan.  As the story goes, a band of thieves beat, robbed, and left a man traveling alone by the roadside to die. A devout priest and a reputable Levite passed by.  Neither of the men stopped to help the dying man. Finally, a Samaritan, stopped to help him. The Samaritan bound up his wounds, took him to an inn, and even paid the innkeeper to care for him until he returned. Darley and Batson asked seminarians on a one-on-one basis to prepare and present a short speech on an assigned biblical topic. The test was set up so that on their way to the location where they would deliver their speech, each student would cross a man slumped over, coughing and groaning. Which students would actually stop and help? Before preparing their speeches, the students filled out a questionnaire asking why they had chosen to study theology. Then a variety of speech topics were assigned, including the story of the Good Samaritan. As the students were leaving to deliver their speeches, some were told, "You'd better hurry. They were expecting you about three minutes ago." Others were told, "They won't be ready for a few minutes, but you may as well head over now." Now, most people would assume that seminarians stating on their questionnaires that they had chosen to study theology so they could help people and who were then assigned to speak on the Good Samaritan would be the ones most likely to stop and help the ailing man on their way. Interestingly, neither of those two factors seemed to make much of a difference. In fact, Darley and Batson stated, "Indeed, on several occasions, a seminary student going to give his talk on the parable of the Good Samaritan literally stepped over the victim as he hurried on his way." The element that seemed to be most influential was whether or not the student was rushed. Of the students who were told they were already a little late, only 10 percent stopped to help. Of the students who were told they had a little bit more time, 63 percent stopped to help. We can learn from this example that we can create atmospheres where people are so involved that they ignore other factors they normally would not ignore.  On the flip side, if participants are too relaxed than they become difficult to persuade.

Did you know that if you think about what you ate earlier in the day, you're proven to snack less?  Kurt and Steve discuss a recent article by Psychology Today that studies this phenomenon.   Size of packaging, color, position...all of these things subconsciously influence what your prospect buys...and how much they buy.  On this episode, Kurt and Steve discuss some recent books and studies that delve into how much we eat...and why you should care as a persuader.  Atmosphere can also include the tension in the air. Is there a rush, or are customers relaxed? What type of climate are you trying to create?

After introducing Plato's Republic, Professor Gendler turns to the discussion of Glaucon's challenge in Book II. Glaucon challenges Socrates to defend his claim that acting justly (morally) is valuable in itself, not merely as a means to some other end (in this case, the reputation one gets from seeming just). To bolster the opposing position--that acting justly is only valuable as a means to attaining a good reputation--Glaucon sketches the thought experiment of the Ring of Gyges. In the second half of the lecture, Professor Gendler discusses the experimental results of Daniel Batson, which suggest that, at least in certain controlled laboratory settings, people appear to care more about seeming moral than about actually acting fairly. These experimental results appear to support Glaucon's hypothesis in the Ring of Gyges thought experiment.
