Literature picks up different ways to estimate altruism and altruistic behavior in the context of the
Public Good Game. The objective of this essay is comparing various methodologies and
procedures used for evaluating the altruistic behavior. In this dissertation, a questionnaire is carried
out for contrasting two methodologies used for testing altruistic behavior. The first procedure is
based on Kurzban and Houser (2005) and the second one, developed from an idea considered in
Alexander and Fotini (2011). Results present that the second methodology is more permissive than
the first one. Moreover, results show that gender has not an effect in how altruistic a subject is.
Behavior of subjects with postgraduate level of studies is less altruistic than behavior of subjects
with lower level of education. Finally, results show that subjects classified as cooperators often have
altruistic motivations in their behavior. [-]
