The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects a pilot school-based intervention called CEPIDEA, designed promote prosocial behavior in early adolescence. took place middle school located small city near Rome. group included 151 students (52.3% males; M age = 12.4), and control 173 (50.3% females; 13.0). Both groups were assessed at three time points, each 6 months apart. A Latent Growth Curve analysis revealed that group, compared showed an increase helping along with decrease...
Abstract Objective The present longitudinal study examined the development of self‐reported prosociality (i.e., tendency to enact prosocial behaviors) from adolescence early adulthood and its prediction teacher‐reported effortful control dispositional regulation) at age 13. Method Participants were 573 (276 girls) Italian adolescents aged approximately 13 ( M = 12.98, SD 0.80) first assessment 21 21.23, 0.67) last assessment. used three different cohorts recruited across ten years (from1994...
Bidirectional relations among adolescents' positivity, perceived positive school climate, and prosocial behavior were examined in Colombian youth. Also, the role of a climate mediating relation positivity to behaviors was tested. Adolescents (N = 151; Mage child Wave 1 12.68, SD 1.06; 58.9% male) their parents 127) provided data two waves (9 months apart). A model bidirectional between emerged. In addition, adolescents with higher levels at age 12 showed following year. Positive related over time.
Abstract Objective Researchers have demonstrated the prediction of academic functioning by children's prosocial behavior (PB). The goal our study was to examine contribution adolescents' PB for middle and senior high school grades after controlling stability achievement intelligence, Big Five traits, sociodemographic variables (i.e., sex socioeconomic status). Method Study 1 examined on 165 adolescents (48.5% boys) peer‐reported in 7th grade at end junior school, above variables. 2 927 (52%...
This research investigated the psychometric properties of Prosociality Scale and its cross-cultural validation generalizability across five different western non-western countries (China, Chile, Italy, Spain, United States). The scale was designed to measure individual differences in a global tendency behave prosocial ways during late adolescence adulthood. Study 1 identify best factorial structure 2 tested model’s equivalence ( N = 1,630 young adults coming from China, Spain States; general...
The present prospective study examined the prediction of prosociality from effortful control and ego-resiliency late adolescence to emerging adulthood. Participants were 476 young adults (239 males 237 females) with a mean age 16 years (SD = .81) at T1, 18 .83) T2, 20 .79) T3, 22 T4, 26 T5. Controlling for stability variables effect potential confounding (i.e., sex, socioeconomic status [SES], age), results supported model in which temperamental dimension, control, positively predicted...
The present longitudinal study examined the role of quality friendship in mediating relation pro-sociality to self-esteem over time. Participants were 424 Italian young adults (56% females) assessed at two waves (M(age) = 21.1 Time 1; M(age) 25 2). An autoregressive cross-lagged panel model was used test mediational model. Self- and friend-report measures pro-sociality, friendship, included analyses. Results line with hypothesized paths, later above beyond its high stability. Self-esteem,...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role prosocial behaviour against aggression in a school‐based universal intervention adapted two different (non‐Western) countries, Colombia and Chile. Using randomised pretest–post‐test design (and controlling for participants' gender parents' level education), current results highlighted effects similar programme both sites. First, designed promoting behaviours peer context obtained positive cross‐national effect on rated by three informants...
Despite the democratised access to digital media, there are still gaps in uses and opportunities according age, sex, socioeconomic level, location. In addition, study about use of media by children adolescents has focused more on risks than opportunities. This analyses relationship between different (socialisation, socio-political, learning purposes), with school civic engagement. A sample 524 students (Mage=12; 43.7% girls) from Santiago de Chile participated. Structural equation modelling...
In recent decades, given new forms of political participation, the involvement young people in civic domain begins to be a focus many studies. The present study examined role personality traits and personal values prediction engagement (CE) Italian youth ranging age from 19 29 years old involved an ongoing longitudinal study. multidimensionality scale tapping CE has been demonstrated with examination confirmatory factor analysis. Structural equation modeling corroborated mediational model...
The current study explores different routes to civic involvement by identifying how a context-specific dimension of empathy and beliefs autonomy dependency might jointly predict types giving behaviors (i.e., monetary donations), which in turn should engagement. sample consisted 1,294 participants (656 females) between the ages 18 64 (Mage = 38.44, SD 14.71), randomly selected from seven cities Chile. Even after controlling for gender, age, socioeconomic status participants, results mainly...
Multidimensional Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale for Children has been developed as an important tool to measure in school contexts. The present study assesses the measurement invariance of MSPSE across two samples Italian and Colombian adolescents using Multi-sample Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Participants were (N = 564) 645) students attending 7th grade (age 12–13) drawn from a residential community near Rome three cities: Medellin, Manizales Santa Marta. Findings gender provide high...
