Altruism01:03

Altruism

40.9K
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Egoism and Altruism

91.4K
Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Inclusive Fitness00:57

Inclusive Fitness

35.9K
Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.3K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.3K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Empathy02:34

Empathy

9.6K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Intercity cooperation networks are growing, but often lack depth. Most engagement focuses on superficial exchanges rather than functional improvements for participating cities.

Area of Science:

  • Urban Studies
  • Political Science
  • International Relations

Background:

  • The proliferation of regional and international intercity networks suggests a rise in global urban collaboration.
  • Existing research indicates a trend towards increased intercity cooperation, driven by globalization and shared urban challenges.

Discussion:

  • Current intercity cooperation often involves limited engagement, primarily through information sharing, delegation visits, and mutual learning.
  • This superficial level of interaction leads to perceptions of "adding flowers to the brocade," where participation enhances image rather than core functions.

Key Insights:

  • Despite the growing number of intercity networks, the depth of cooperation remains shallow.
  • Cities engage in networks for symbolic enhancement rather than substantive functional capacity building.

Outlook:

  • Future research should explore mechanisms to deepen intercity cooperation beyond symbolic gestures.
  • Developing frameworks for more impactful and functional intercity collaborations is crucial for addressing complex urban issues.
