Description

Prosocial Development: A Multidimensional Approach explores how voluntary actions to help others impact outcomes across the lifespan. Research has shown that children with a more prosocial orientation tend to excel in various areas, including academics and social relationships. This volume examines the biological, socialization, and contextual influences on prosocial development from infancy through early adulthood. The definition of prosocial behavior is found to be multifaceted, with different contexts, motivations, types, and targets being predicted by socialization and dispositional characteristics. Suitable for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in positive youth development, this book provides a valuable tool for understanding the complexities of prosocial behavior and its significance in various fields.
