“…Hence if the tendency to experience negative or positive affect more often is given, it may have an influence on some prosocial behavior tendencies. For the big five personality traits, the rational to include extraversion was that one motive behind anonymous prosocial behavior might be that the helper is introverted (see Mukahi et al, 1998 ). Also for public and emotional prosocial behavior tendencies, we expected a higher extraversion because of the kind of expression management character of both kinds of behavior (e.g., Krämer and Winter, 2008 ).…”

The prosocial tendencies measure (PTM; Carlo and Randall, 2002) is a widely used measurement for prosocial tendencies in English speaking participants. This instrument distinguishes between six different types of prosocial tendencies that partly share some common basis, but also can be opposed to each other. To examine these constructs in Germany, a study with 1067 participants was conducted. The study investigated the structure of this German version of the PTM-R via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlations with similar constructs in subsamples as well as via measurement invariance test concerning the original English version. The German translation showed a similar factor structure to the English version in exploratory factor analysis and in confirmatory factor analysis. Measurement invariance was found between the English and German language versions of the PTM and support for the proposed six-factor structure (altruistic, anonymous, compliant, dire, emotional and public prosocial behavior) was also found in confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, the expected interrelations of these factors of prosocial behavior tendencies were obtained. Finally, correlations of the prosocial behavior tendencies with validating constructs and behaviors were found. Thus, the findings stress the importance of seeing prosocial behavior not as a single dimension construct, but as a factored construct which now can also be assessed in German speaking participants.

“…Some studies reported introverts tend to prefer anonymous condition and contribute to meetings in the condition [13,25]. Therefore, it is assumed that introverts tend to avoid verbal interaction and prefer to type their opinions on GSS.…”

Although distributed Group Support Systems (GSS) are getting popular, there are still some limitations. One of the limitations is few substitutions for face-to-face (FTF) interaction (whether it is related to meeting content or not), so we may say that FTF interaction is one of the advantages of proximate types of GSS. However, there are few studies that focus only on the role of FTF interaction in proximate GSS sessions, so it is unclear what the real advantages may be. If we understand the role of FTF interaction better, we can understand how proximate GSS is important perhaps understand better the role of face to face interaction when compared to distributed GSS. When data regarding face to face interaction was studies, many experimental studies separated FTF interaction from computer based interaction in GSS sessions. But, if people are gathered at same place under actual meeting conditions, it is assumed that they automatically talk about something. Therefore FTF interaction, especially verbal interaction in proximate GSS sessions, is an important issue to consider in actual GSS conditions.The purpose of this study is to clarify impacts of verbal interaction in actual proximate GSS sessions. Eight proximate GSS sessions were observed and data were gathered using questionnaires from 59 participants. The relationship between meeting satisfaction, group cohesion and verbal interaction was analyzed.Results show that, "oral participation in a discussion" and "informal chat during a session" tends to enhance meeting satisfaction and group cohesion more than "contribution using GSS". Therefore, we may say formal or informal verbal interactions in proximate GSS sessions play an important role and this role is one of the advantages of proximate GSS.
