Thielmann, Spadaro, and Balliet (2020) proposed four broad situational affordances allowing the expression of personality traits in prosocial behaviour. We test this affordance-based framework using a large-scale dataset by examining the predictive validity of various personality traits for prosocial behaviour in different economic games involving different affordances. Specifically, we consider traits from four trait classes, namely, unconditional concern for others’ welfare, conditional concern for others’ welfare, self-regulation, and beliefs about others’ prosociality.
