The studies of prosocial behavior have been wide and various, but few researchers use embodied cognition theory to study prosocial behavior. As important sensations to individuals, the influences of haptic sensations on cognition have rarely been studied. In this study, embodied cognition theory is used to study prosocial behavior, to find out if haptic sensations influence prosocial behavior. In this study, participants were separated into two groups. In one group they were asked to hold a light book, and in another group they were asked to hold a heavy book, so they can experience light or heavy haptic sensations. While participants were holding the book, the were also asked to finish questionnaires to evaluate the weight of the book and their prosocial behavior. The result shows that there is a metaphor connection between haptic sensations and the concept of importance, which means that haptic sensations will influence individuals' judgement of specific things' importance. However, the relationship between haptic sensations and the concept of importance might not be a linear relationship, but a U-curve relationship instead. In other words, individuals may consider something more important when they have very light and heavy tactile experience. The result can't prove that haptic sensations have influence on prosocial behavior, but it doesn't mean that there is no relationship between them.
