亲社会行为--有益于他人的行为--从根本上塑造了我们的人际互动。精神障碍被认为与亲社会障碍有关，这可能是他们许多社会障碍的基础。然而，更广泛的情感特征，在精神病患者和健康人群中都存在不同程度的表现，也与亲社会性的变异性有关。因此，与广泛的情感特征相关的特定精神障碍在多大程度上解释了亲社会的变异性尚不清楚。我们在两项在线研究中使用了计算、跨诊断的方法，发现那些报告在一大群特征上表现出更多情感反应的参与者在两种不同的背景下表现出更高的亲社会行动频率：他们报告说他们更不喜欢为了利润而伤害他人，他们更愿意努力造福他人。这些发现有助于阐明精神疾病中亲社会行为的概况，以及健康个体中亲社会行为的结构。
Prosocial behaviors—actions that benefit others—fundamentally shape our interpersonal interactions. Psychiatric disorders have been suggested to be related to prosocial disturbances, which may underlie many of their social impairments. However, broader affective traits, present to different degrees in both psychiatric and healthy populations, also have been linked to variability in prosociality. Therefore, it is unclear to what extent prosocial variability is explained by specific psychiatric disorders relative to broad affective traits. Using a computational, transdiagnostic approach in two online studies, we found that participants who reported being more affectively reactive across a broad cluster of traits manifested greater frequencies of prosocial actions in two different contexts: They reported being more averse to harming others for profit, and they were more willing to exert effort to benefit others. These findings help illuminate the profile of prosociality across psychiatric conditions as well as the architecture of prosocial behavior in healthy individuals.
