To see if superheroes could inspire people to be more altruistic or act pro-socially , the researchers asked participants to enter a room with either a superman poster or a poster of a bicycle on the wall. The volunteers were then asked to describe items in the room and then fill out a questionnaire.
为了了解超级英雄是否能激励人们变得更无私或表现得更亲近社会,研究人员让实验参与者进入一个房间,房间的墙上贴有超人海报或自行车海报。随后,研究人员让志愿者描述房间里的物品并填写调查问卷。

基本释义
If your behaviour or motives are altruistic, you show concern for the happiness and welfare of other people rather than for yourself.
adj. 利他的;无私心的
单词altruistic里的altru部分,来源于拉丁语alter, 表示“其他,别人”。所以,包含词根alter/altru的单词,多与此相关,例如:
altruist n. 爱他主义者;利他主义者
altruism n.利他;利他主义
alter vt. 改变,更改
altercation n.(与别人)争执
alternative adj. 供选择的;交替的
selfless: If you say that someone is selfless, you approve of them because they care about other people more than themselves.(无私的)
