“…The most significant distinction between the two parenting styles is in the dimensions of parental acceptance and response, with authoritative parenting scoring high and neglectful parenting scoring low ( Maccoby and Martin, 1983 ). The findings are consistent with many recent studies ( Breitenstein, 2015 ; Lansford et al, 2018 ; Yan et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2022 ) and family systems theory ( Bowen, 1974 ). In detail, in recent years, with economic globalization and social openness whether in a collectivist or individualist society, warm parental support, and response in parent–child interaction not only promotes the development of a positive parent–child subsystem but also benefits siblings and parental subsystems, as well as the whole family system.…”

“…That is to say, in the current Asian society with economic globalization and social openness, traditional authoritarian parenting in Asia is also influenced to some extent by the democratic and warm response of the authoritative upbringing often used in western culture ( Yan et al, 2021 ). Recently, authoritative parenting styles in Asian societies also began to predict empathy, prosocial behavior, and sibling closeness ( Yan et al, 2021 ; Zhou et al, 2022 ). In addition, Asian parents need to be wary of inconsistent parenting, which had a medium and positive effect on sibling conflicts.…”

Previous studies have shown that sibling conflicts are detrimental to physical and psychological development, as well as long-term human development. Although many studies have discovered relations between parenting style and sibling conflicts, these findings were contentious and did not provide a universal solution. Therefore, the meta-analysis was used as the method to determine the nature and magnitude of the relationships. There were a total of 14,356 participants in the 16 included studies, from which 55 effect sizes were extracted. According to the overall meta-analysis results, authoritative parenting (r = –0.201) did have the potential to reduce sibling conflicts. Neglectful (r = 0.389), inconsistent (r = 0.364), indulgent (r = 0.293), and authoritarian (r = 0.235) parenting styles were related to sibling conflicts in a positive way. Moreover, the study investigated the effectiveness of several moderator variables, such as children’s gender, age, region, outcome measure, and publication year. The research indicates that authoritative parenting is a protective factor of sibling conflicts. Moderator analyses found that gender, age, region, outcome measure, and publication year played moderating roles in the relationships. Finally, research limitations in the current study and expectations for future research, as well as theoretical contributions and implications for parenting practice, were presented.Systematic review registration[https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-8-0020/], identifier [INPLASY202280020].

“…Empirical evidence from studies involving European American and ethnic minority adolescents (e.g., Mexican American) indicates that positive parenting practices, such as warmth and acceptance, are longitudinally associated with increased displays of prosocial behaviors (Laible et al., 2017; Streit et al., 2021). Similar findings have been observed in studies involving adolescents from interdependent cultures, such as Turkish (Laible et al., 2017) and Chinese (Ngai et al., 2018; Zhou et al., 2022). Thus, parental warmth appears to be associated with greater prosocial behaviors among adolescents across different cultures.…”

Parental guilt induction is thought to promote empathy and social attunement in Chinese cultures, whereas parental warmth is thought to facilitate prosocial development across diverse cultures. However, research on the relative roles of guilt induction and warmth and how they are associated with prosocial behaviors in Chinese communities has been limited. Additionally, the roles of paternal parenting and potential motivational mediators in non‐Western contexts remain largely unexplored. The present study considered both culturally prevalent (guilt induction) and universal (warmth) parenting practices and their associations with other‐ versus self‐oriented prosocial behaviors, as well as the mediating role of adolescents’ values (i.e., self‐transcendence vs. self‐transcendence). Gender and age differences were also examined. Participants were 439 Grades 7–11 adolescents (242 girls) from Hong Kong. Path analyses indicated that self‐transcendence values mediated the link between parental (maternal and paternal) warmth and both forms of prosocial behaviors. Self‐enhancement values mediated the link between maternal guilt induction and self‐oriented prosocial behaviors. Multigroup analyses revealed no significant gender and age differences. Current findings suggest that parental warmth is likely to facilitate prosocial behaviors through the cultivation of self‐transcendence values whereas guilt induction may facilitate values and prosocial behaviors that are more self‐oriented in Chinese contexts.

“…Further, due to Chinese culture emphasizing collectivistic orientations, prosocial behavior is an essential goal for the socialization of individuals, as it contributes to an integrated and harmonious society. 65 Thus, it is possible that during the COVID-19 pandemic, resilient students are more likely to actively take on social responsibilities and thus engage in more prosocial behaviors.…”

Purpose Suffering during events such as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens university students’ physical and psychological health. Given the literature indicating the protective role of resilience and social support, the current study explored the mediating and moderating roles of social support in the association between resilience and prosocial behavior among university students in mainland China during COVID-19 mitigation. Methods We conducted an online survey using convenience sampling from 23rd February to 3rd March 2020 among Chinese university students who had encountered home-quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Self-report scales were used to measure levels of resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), social support (the Social Support Scale), and prosocial behavior (Prosocial Tendencies Measure). A total of 313 university students participated in this online survey. Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to test the hypothesized mediating and moderating effects of social support in the relationship between resilience and prosocial behavior. Results Pearson’s correlations analysis showed that all outcomes of interest were positively associated. Importantly, social support (subjective support, objective support, and support utilization) mediated the indirect link of resilience with prosocial behavior. Furthermore, moderation analyses indicated that support utilization played a moderating role in this link. Support utilization may reduce the negative influence of COVID-19 on university students’ prosocial behavior and serve as a protective factor between resilience and prosocial behavior in highly stressful contexts. Conclusion Our findings enrich research on prosocial behavior by investigating the potential internal and external variables that influence such behavior during periods of suffering. Findings also provide evidence for the need to promote university students’ prosocial behavior.
