Questions Covered:
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.
