Definition

Prosociality segregation refers to the tendency for individuals to preferentially interact with and help others who demonstrate prosocial behaviors. This can lead to the formation of social circles or communities based on mutual support and cooperation, while excluding those who exhibit selfish or antisocial behaviors. Prosociality segregation can have both positive and negative implications, as it can foster a sense of unity and trust within a group, but also contribute to social exclusion and inequality.
