> Do you think that prosocial is the same as empathy?

Empathy is one of the main prosocial traits that the second linked study analysed.

No it doesn’t, it means your individual behaviour benefits others. Empathy is one of the most obvious things to analyse when investigating prosociality because empathy motivates you to behave in ways that benefit others.
