Introduction The term denoting helping behavior arises from the desire of people to help others, especially those who are in distress due to natural, or man-made causes. The main motives of helping behavior are indeed humane, which may, or may not arise from the need for recompense, or some material return for the help rendered. The main aspects of helping behavior are sharing, caring, rescuing, and taking care of weaker or smaller people or living beings. Egoism as a primary motive Many theories have been put forth for helping behavior, in terms of it being catering to one’s ego satisfaction, for self-aggrandizement or just to gain popularity, within the community or social set up, by indulging in voluntary acts, which, prima facie, is intended to be altruistic, voluntary and designed to serve others. The aspects of egoism are also very much present in helpful behavior as has been advocated by many behavioral researchers, and others who have mentioned that collectivism is another manifestation of egoistic behavior. (Weiner, et al, p. 482). One may try to benefit groups by the maximum total benefit to self, thus posing to encourage prosocial answers to societal needs. Research conducted by Dawes, Van De Kragt, Orbell (1990). However, research conducted by Dawes, Van De Kragt, Orbell (1990) reverse this and their findings show that group behavior and egoism are independent aspects. In this study, it is seen that where a choice could hypothetically have to be made between allocating common funds either to themselves or to groups, the following aspects present themselves: 1. When the respondent decides to appropriate funds to oneself, there is utmost individual profits and least group benefits and, When there are allocations to the group, there are maximum collectivism profits and a lower degree of individualist benefits. (Weiner, et al, p. 482). Thus, it could be seen that by advocating mass traits, the leader is actually trying to further self-interests through collectivism, whereas, in the case of showing individualistic traits, the leader is hoping to gain mass appeal. Thus, it is seen that there are arguments abode in whether helping behavior, or altruism in its broadest or narrowest sense, does stem from self-interest, or collectivism. It is now necessary to consider the depth of helping behavior, or in other words what are the factors that goad such kind of behavior, as opposed to others, and how this could be constructively used for human benefits. It is seen that there are a lot of factors that add up to HB, including the need for fulfilling ego, material gains in terms of rewards and recompense, and even the need to retain leadership in a group. Several factors motivate helping behavior including the fact that what has been deprived in oneself could gain and be fostered through others. Perceptive differences in helping behavior Thus, it may be said that in the case of helping behavior, the concept of perception is also very significant. Each of us perceived things in a different light, depending upon our environment, education, attitude to life, genetic factors, extrinsic influences, etc. Thus, it is quite possible that what may seem right
