Questions Covered:
Introduction:
1. How do the values of the culture affect
a child's tendencies to help others?
2. What kinds of child-rearing practices
or parental attitudes foster the development
of prosocial behavior?
These and other questions are explored in the this
presentation of the development of prosocial
behavior in children. The authors' conversational
style guides you through a fascinating collection of
literature. Each section addresses prosocial
behavior from a differenct point of view. Describing
the biological, cultural, cognitive and situational
perspectives, the authors give special attention to
the development of altruism, generosity, personal
consideration, and sharing. The authors theorize
that prosocial behavior is learned and present an
examination of how it develops, including the
formation of underlying processes and
mechanisms. They suggest that since prosocial
behavior is learned, it can be modified. The authors
also suggest that it is posssible to find ways in
which parents, educators and the media can
enhance a child's prosocial behavior.
