Daily prosocial behavior. The y-axis shows the proportions of answering ‘yes’ when asked about acting prosocially relative to the total amount of answered surveys. (A) Adult age differences in prosocial behavior. No significant association between age and prosocial behavior was found. (B) Within-subject effect of empathy opportunity x age on prosocial behavior. All age groups showed more prosocial behavior after an empathy opportunity. A quadratic effect of age group indicated that this effect was more pronounced in the middle-aged groups than in the younger and older age group.
