University is a very important link between family and society.As the successor of the new era,college students' thoughts and behaviors are closely related to the harmonious development of society.In recent years,there have been prosocial events in which college students give up their own lives to save others and to devote themselves to supporting education.However,there are also incidents in which college students ignore others' difficulties and refuse to cooperate with others.It makes people ponder: what has affected the prosocial behavior of College Students? In 2017,Lu Jiamei and his team found that the score of dedication was only 5.61(10 out of 10),which may provide an important reason for the lack of prosocial behavior of college students.As a kind of moral behavior,the prosocial behavior is influenced by moral emotions.Guilt and shame are important moral emotions,which provide another reason for the prosocial behavior of college students.Prosocial behavior,as an important behavior in the process of socialization,can be classified into exposed prosocial behavior and masked prosocial behavior.Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of guilt,shame and dedication on different types of prosocial behaviors.In Study 1,implicit association test was used to investigate the influence of guilt,shame and dedication on implicit altruistic attitude of college students.In the second study,the simultaneous prisoner's Dilemma and the subsequent prisoner's dilemma were used to explore the effects of guilt,shame and sense of dedication on the masked and exposed cooperative behaviors of college students.In the third study,we used the dictator game of donation behavior to explore the influence of guilt,shame and dedication on donation behavior of college students.Research shows:(1)The implicit prosocial attitude of college students with high sense of dedication is stronger than that of college students with low sense of dedication.The implicit Pro social attitude of college students with high sense of dedication is stronger than that with low sense of dedication.The influence of emotion on implicit prosocial attitude is not significant,which shows that implicit attitude is relatively deep-rooted,and immediate induced emotion has no effect on it.(2)The masked prosocial behavior of high dedication college students is more than that of low dedication college students,which is consistent with implicit prosocial attitude.There were more masked prosocial behaviors in guilt group than in shame group.(3)The exposed prosocial behavior of the students with high sense of dedication is more than that of the students with low sense of dedication,which is consistent with the implicit prosocial attitude.In the low dedication college students,shame can promote the exposure of Pro social behavior.However,in the exposed prosocial behaviors that need interpersonal interaction,shame may also lead to withdrawal behavior,so as to offset the increased effect.This study puts forward a new classification of prosocial behavior,enriches the theory of College Students' sense of dedication on prosocial behavior,and provides a new way for future research on the dispute of guilt,shame and prosocial behavior.And for moral education,teachers how to guide students' negative emotions,cultivate positive moral emotions,improve Pro social behavior to provide a certain inspiration.
