Describe one example for each type of social interaction (cooperation, selfishness, altruism, spitefulness)

Expert Solution

Explanation:

The following are illustrations of each form of social interaction:

Collaboration: a team of individuals constructing a home for a member of the community who is in need. Everybody contributes their special talents and resources to the project, and they work together to reach a common objective. Because everyone is putting aside their own self-interests to work together for the good of the community, this is an illustration of cooperation.
Selfishness being selfish would be like keeping all the candies to yourself after winning a game and refusing to share even when requested. Because the person is behaving in their own self-interest and not taking other people's needs or goals into account.
Altruism: A person who donates money to a nonprofit organization that feeds and shelters the homeless. Altruism is demonstrated in this situation since the person is behaving without thought of reward or personal gain. They are sacrificing for the good of other people.
A coworker's presentation was ruined on purpose by someone removing crucial data from their computer out of spite. Because the person is behaving out of a desire to hurt someone else, even if doing so would not benefit them in any way, this is an illustration of spitefulness. They are driven by bad feelings and a desire to make other people suffer.
