Table 5. Moderator analyses.

Prosocial attitudes Prosocial behavior
Notes. We included moderators in the analyses that divided experiments into subgroups of at least three experiments. *We collapsed active and passive movement into “movement” due to the small number of experiments in the passive movement subgroup (k = 2). n.a. = The number of studies in one subgroup was below the cutoff of k = 3.
