Platt, Michelle; Malecki, Christine K.; Luckner, Amy; Wiemer, Kristina; Pyun, Yoonsun – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
Prosocial teasing is the positive playful form of relational aggression, and studies have found children engage in playful teasing more often than aggressive teasing. Therefore, understanding the basic characteristics or skills that contribute to the more complex social skill of prosocial teasing is important. The current study focused on the role…

Laible, Deborah; Karahuta, Erin; Stout, Wyntre; Van Norden, Clare; Cruz, Alysia; Neely, Princess; Carlo, Gustavo; Agalar, Afra Elif – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Some work demonstrates toddlers show preferences in targets of their prosocial behavior, and a number of theorists have argued that young children become increasingly likely to direct their prosocial behavior to ingroup over outgroup targets with development. The goal of this study was to examine whether toddlers' early helping, sharing, and…

Coyne, Sarah M.; Warburton, Wayne A.; Essig, Lee W.; Stockdale, Laura A. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Decades of research on the effects of media violence have examined associations between viewing aggressive material in the media and aggression and prosocial behavior. However, the existing longitudinal studies have tended to exclusively examine aggression and prosocial behavior as outcomes, with a limited range of potential mediators. The current…

Many prosocial behaviors involve social risks such as speaking out against a popular opinion, bias, group norm, or authority.
