The research is focused on prosocial behavior. The authors are trying to answer this question: will a prosocially acting person demand more prosocial behavior than a person with smaller tendency to prosocial behavior ?. The authors also concentrated on the relation between these tendencies and gender. The research group consisted of 340 respondents each of whom completed a questionnaire identifying tendencies to act prosocially and to demand prosocial behavior. According to the results there is a positive relation between the tendency to prosocial behavior and the tendency to demand prosocial behavior. Gender has no effect on the tendency to prosocial behavior but influences the tendency to demand prosocial behavior - women have stronger tendency to demand prosocial behavior than men.
