Helping makes us feel good about ourselves thereby maintaining our positive mood. In fact people wgo are in good mood are more likely to help others when the help that they are going to give seems likely to maintain their mood. But if they think that helping is going to spoil their good mood, even people in good moods are likely to refuse to help.

Because of the heroic quality attributed to helping men generally tend to be more helping in nature and more so to women because they seem more vulnerable. Men also tend to help more if there are bystanders for effect of recognition. Although women generally think of others problems and care more they like to help but avoid if there is a potential danger involved.

2. Answer is c

We tend to provide less help to people who seem to have brought on their problems themselves or make little effort in coming out of their problems as in the case of drunkard.
