My colleague and I are doing work in the area of prosocial and antisocial behaviour, through qualitative methods. For coding purposes, we came across a procial behaviour taxonomy in Bierhoff, H.-W. (2002). Prosocial Behaviour. Psychology Press.
Since our project deals with antisocial behaviour (selfish, self-centric, hurtful, misbehaviours) as well, we wanted to check if there were a similar taxonomy of classification for such behaviours. References would be appreciated.
Hi,
Kindly see this following:

This needs to be looked at. Anarchists are either frustrated or anti-social
I can tell you about the economics of risky behaviors. Good behaviors are not problem for society and individuals. You can see book "Economics of risky behaviors among youths". You can continue with adults too.
Antisocial behaviour should always be looked upon considering heritability, culture and context (biopsychosocial model). For heritability and culture see: Raine, 2012, 'The Anatomy of Violence' for vivid examples of hunter gatherer cultures. This is why it is hard to draw a taxonomy of antisocial behaviour.
To my experience we should also consider context as antisocial behaviour can often be explained as reactance because of fear (Heynen, van der Helm & Stams 2015 submitted: The relation between aggression, CU-traits and living group climate in delinquent boys in youth detention).
I would look at the Selfhood Model of Relational Competence Theory for a model that includes and integrates both a classification of antisocial behavior, a classification of selfless behavior, a classification of psychopathology, and a classification of adequate and superiot behaviior, (Cusinato, 2013; Cusinato & L'Abate, 2012; L'Abate et a., 2010).
@Senthilvel, thanks for the references; but we're actually looking for taxonomies of the behaviours, and not really the persons with PDs.
@Anthony, that's a great starting point, thanks!
@Paul, I think @Luciano's comment is a good place to start.
@Sanjay, thanks, will have a look.
@Peer, we'll keep the biopsychosocial caveat in mind. But purely at a behavioural level (without seeking to address etiology), is there a taxonomy?
@Luciano, thank you so much for the references. Shall look into it immediately.
Hello
It might be worth framing your interests in terms of Hamilton and inclusive fitness such that you think of an actor and recipient and then fitness costs and benefits. Where the behaviour is beneficial to both it is mutualism. Where the behaviour is beneficial to the actor but costly to the recipient, it is selfish. Where the behaviour is costly to the actor and beneficial to the recipient it is altruism. Where costly to both it is spite.
You then have a meaningful utility and a way of focusing down upon more proximate concerns.
Davies, Kreb and West (2011) An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology give a very clear account of all this.

I believe that such a taxonomy, with its descriptors and diagnostic indicators, can be easily consulted in the "DSM-5" of the APA or, if you prefer, in the International Classification of Diseases -11- ("ICD-11"), of WHO, in its Chapter or Section referring to Mental Disorders and Mental Health. In both (DSM-5 and ICD-11) you should look within Personality Disorders.
The famous author Millon also has things about it in his works and famous Quiz on Personality Disorders.
Similarly, Goleman -in his work Emotional Intelligence- addresses it when he speaks of the so-called "Dark Triad" (Narcissism, Psychopathy and Machiavellianism) to which, if we add Sadism, it would already be the "Dark Tetrad"; With such Keywords you can also find many other authors who talk about it.
Another term could be, "Donald Trumpish." A selfish person acts in a Donald Trumpish manner.
