        Granted doing 'altruistic' things makes people by Arachnid2004-10-21 02:18:02

              Sure, there's positive reinforcement, . . . by HadEnuf 2004-10-21 05:50:04
. . . it is simply given *before the fact*, by virtue of social teaching--particularly, but not exclusively, in
religious contexts. If one has internalized the notion that these "altruistic" acts are virtuous, then one will
"reward" oneself--increased dopamine levels, and all. It boils down, in many respects, to operant conditioning.
