Abstract: The behaviour of help is an important topic in social psychology. It is necessary to address the issue of behavior help to get an understanding of pro-social behavior and how it can be increased. There are a number of theories that show how varied and complex are the motivation and prosocial decision to act. Some authors have characterized the person who helps as sociable, empathetic, altruistic, etc.; others think that people who helps are guided by selfish motivations ,even petty and machiavellian. Beyond the reasons to help, the behavior help is in contrast to the antisocial behaviour.
