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.
