Germano Vera Cruz; Lonzozou Kpanake; Guadalupe Elizabeth Morales-Martínez; Etienne Mullet – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Few studies on the development of forgiveness involved young children and adolescents, and very few involved samples from non-western countries. This study focused on the development of willingness to forgive a particular transgression in participants aged 4 to 12 years and from two different cultures: a South African culture (Mozambique) and a…

Padilla-Walker, Laura M.; Van der Graaff, Jolien; Workman, Katey; Carlo, Gustavo; Branje, Susan; Carrizales, Alexia; Gerbino, Maria; Gülseven, Zehra; Hawk, Skyler T.; Luengo Kanacri, Paula; Mesurado, Belén; Samper-García, Paula; Shen, Yuh-Ling; Taylor, Laura K.; Trach, Jessica; van Zalk, Maarten H. 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…

Silva, Catarina; Jover, Chloé; Da Fonseca, David; Esteves, Francisco; Deruelle, Christine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Humans are commonly motivated towards cooperation and prosociality. In this study, we examined this motivational predisposition in autistic individuals. Using an adaptation of the Cyberball paradigm, we investigated subsequent pro-social behaviour after witnessing social exclusion. Participants witnessed and played a series of Cyberball games,…

Bergamaschi, Alessandro; Blaya, Catherine; Arcidiacono, Francesco; Steff, Jimmy – Intercultural Education, 2022

Using a self-reported survey conducted in the south of France, we investigated the attitudes of 1,858 middle and high school students. Multivariate analyses show that when students see their teachers addressing issues…

Holvoet, Claire; Scola, Céline; Arciszewski, Thomas; Picard, Delphine – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
Recent research suggests that infants prefer prosocial behaviour. However, some studies have failed to report this preference, raising the question of which specific parameters allow it to be observed. We attempted to answer this question by investigating whether the preference varies (1) with age (by testing infants aged 6, 12 and 18 months), (2)…

Kubiszewski, Violaine; Auzoult, Laurent; Potard, Catherine; Lheureux, Florent – Educational Psychology, 2019
There is a growing interest in the factors influencing bystanders' interventions in school-bullying. However, perceived social norms, beliefs about what others do (perceived descriptive norms), and what others think one should do (perceived injunctive norms) still require attention. The aim of this study was to investigate whether students…

Ioannou, Aikaterini X.; Malafantis, Konstantinos D. – Pedagogical Research, 2019
Fénelon and Voltaire, the two French philosophers and pedagogues, influenced a wide range of people in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe. The philosophers who followed were inspired by their work which contained ideological hints and promoted humanitarian awareness. We followed the historical analysis method, we intend to present through…

Saint-Martin, Isabelle – Education, Citizenship and Social Justice, 2013
In the French school system, citizenship is treated in a civics course titled "Education in civics, laws and society". However, it would be restrictive to narrow this topic to civics lessons, as the question resurfaces implicitly in other subjects. For instance, emphasis was placed in recent years on teaching about religions within…

Labi, Aisha – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2012
As Europe has lurched from one economic crisis to another in recent months, one thing has become clear: Any long-term solution will depend on the willingness of Germany, Europe's largest economy, to shoulder much of the financial burden the debt crisis has created. German taxpayers, known for their thrift, have balked at underwriting what many see…

Traclet, Alan; Rascle, Olivier; Souchon, Nicolas; Coulomb-Cabagno, Genevieve; Petrucci, Carrie; Ohbuchi, Ken-Ichi – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2009
Most researchers have defined aggression in sport as overt acts violating the formal rules and intentionally causing harm. Such conduct in team sports may also be conceptualized as a kind of social interaction, which would suggest aggression is not judged as an isolated act but as a set of actions and reactions between individuals. In many…
