Description

Examines a variety of biological, socialization, and contextual influences on prosocial development from infancy through young adulthood. While the definition of prosocial behavior may seem straight forward, recent research has highlighted its multifaceted nature. This volume specifically focuses on the multidimensionality of prosocial development, examining different contexts, motivations, types, and targets of prosocial behavior that are differentially predicted by socialization and dispositional characteristics.
