“…Prosocial behavior refers to the actions undertaken to benefit other people (Yang et al, 2021). While initial researches demonstrated a negative relation between SES and prosocial behaviors, subsequent studies did not corroborate these findings (Andreoni et al, 2021;Trautmann et al, 2013).…”

“…We measured several demographic variables as covariates, as they had been found to be associated with prosocial behavior in Chinese adolescents at T1 (Kirkland et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2021). These covariates include gender (1 = male, 2 = female), age, their parental educational level (1 = primary school and below, 2 = middle school degree, 3 = undergraduate degree or equivalent, 4 = graduate degree).…”

The Association between Economic Inequality and Adolescents' Prosocial Behavior: Evidence from Brain Potentials and Genes

The inherent neural mechanism in prosocial behavior and its developmental trajectory are inadequately understood. To address the above gaps, a two-pronged empirical approach, such as experimental approach (e.g., evidence from event-related potentials) and longitudinal questionnaire approach (e.g., latent growth model), is urgently needed to depict a more complete picture of this phenomenon. While both the experimental approach and the correlational approach have their strengths and limitations, they complement one another. In study 1, I sought to replicate prior research and reexamine the relation between SES and adolescents' prosocial behaviors in the ERPs experiment. In study 2, I intend to establish empirical support for the interaction between economic inequality and SES on adolescents' prosocial behavior and the underlying neural mechanism. In these studies, I manipulate the economic inequality and SES in the laboratory experiment to draw causal inferences. Considering the limited external validity of the experiment, study 3 aims to provide longitudinal support for the processing mechanism that explains how economic inequality and SES affect the developmental trajectory of adolescents' prosocial behavior.

“…Meanwhile, the Broaden-and-Build theory of positive emotions suggests that gratitude is a positive emotion that can increase individuals’ mental flexibility, help construct psychological resources, and motivate prosocial behavior ( Fredrickson, 2001 , 2004 ). When individuals are in a positive emotional state, they will have a stronger prosocial motivation that inspires their prosocial behavior ( Chen et al, 2020 ; Lasota et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, no studies have examined gratitude as a potential mechanism that underlies the associations among different types of empathy and prosocial behaviors among Chinese college students.…”

With the development of positive psychology, prosocial behavior has received widespread attention from researchers. Some studies have shown that emotion has a significant influence on individual prosocial behavior, but little research has studied the effect of different types of empathy on college students’ prosocial behaviors. The current study examined the mediating effects of gratitude among the associations between different types of empathy (perspective-taking, fantasy, empathic concern, and personal distress) and prosocial behavior among Chinese college students. For the study, we used the Prosocial Tendency Measurement questionnaire, the Hebrew version of Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C, and The Gratitude Questionnaire that investigated 1,037 participants. The results indicated that gratitude played a mediating role between perspective-taking and prosocial behavior, fantasy and prosocial behavior, empathic concern and prosocial behavior, and personal distress and prosocial behavior, respectively. The current study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between empathy and prosocial behavior.

“…In fact, accordingly to literature, prosocial behaviors have been theoretically and empirically linked to a number of positive individual socioemotional dimensions, such as perspective taking, moral judgment, empathic responding, gratitude, emotion regulation, positive emotionality and positive peer relationship (Eisenberg et al, 2006;Ngai & Xie, 2018;Van der Graaff et. al., 2018Yang et al 2021). On the contrary, prosocial behaviors are negatively connected with aggressive conduct, and interconnection with delinquent peers (Caprara et.…”
