ProSocial World is a registered U.S. based 501c3 nonprofit with a vision of consciously evolving a world that works for all[1]. ProSocial's belief is that to catalyze rapid, positive cultural change we need to recognize our interconnectedness and continuously improve the relationships we have with ourselves, each other and the planet[2].
Co-Founded in 2020 by biologist David Sloan Wilson and organizational psychologist Paul Atkins, ProSocial uses a scientific framework aimed at helping groups become more cooperative, adaptable, and resilient[3]. Their approach incorporates three different scientific disciplines and perspectives that have not previously been combined: evolutionary science, contextual behavioral science, and Elinor Ostrom’s Nobel prize-winning work on community development and the commons. Combined, these sciences constitute an integrated methodology aimed at continuous social improvement[4][5]
One key aspect of the ProSocial framework is the integration of Elinor Ostrom's core principles, initially designed for groups that were attempting to manage common-pool resources[6].
The eight core design principles include:
- Strong group identity and understanding of purpose.
- Fair distribution of costs and benefits.
- Fair and inclusive decision-making.
- Monitoring agreed-upon behaviors.
- Graduated sanctions for misbehaviors.
- Fast and fair conflict resolution.
- Authority to self-govern.
- Appropriate relations with other groups.
In 2009, Ostrom became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences because of the development of this wisdom[7]. Soon after this, ProSocial World co-founder David Sloan Wilson began to work with Elinor Ostom and Michael Cox to generalize the core design principles[8]. Together, they expanded the original model to also highlight the basic evolutionary dynamics of cooperation.
