Lyle is studying alone late Friday night in the almost deserted library. His concentration is interrupted when he notices another student nearby slumped over his desk, making sounds that suggest he might be in pain. In this situation, it is very likely that Lyle will engage in , because he is NOT constrained by .

In this situation, it is very likely that Lyle will engage in prosocial behavior, because he is NOT constrained by the bystander effect.

Explanation:

The instructions in the question make it clear that Lyle is in an almost deserted library. The reason why that fact was mentioned is because the presence of many people influences the general behavior. People tend to not help someone in need when there are other bystanders. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely a person is to offer help. The bystander effect was popularized by social psychologists Bibb Latané and John Darley after a woman was stabbed to death in front of her apartment in New York. None of her neighbors tried to intervene and help. One explanation to such inertia is that people observe those around them to decide how to act. If no one is helping, they choose not to help as well.

Prosocial behavior, on the other hand, is altruistic. It is a behavior that benefits others and society as a whole. Lyle is not constrained by the bystander effect. For that reason, he will show prosocial behavior by helping the student who seems to be in pain.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
