W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

Laible, Deborah; Karahuta, Erin; Stout, Wyntre; Van Norden, Clare; Cruz, Alysia; Neely, Princess; Carlo, Gustavo; Agalar, Afra Elif – Developmental Psychology, 2021

The goal of this study was to examine whether toddlers' early helping, sharing, and…
