Your friend Enrique told you that he would like his young son Joe to grow up to be a nice, helpful person. What can you tell Enrique about parental behaviors that are related to socializing prosocial behavior?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
Research has found three parental behaviors that are related to socializing prosocial behavior in children. First, parents who use reasoning in their disciplinary style tend to have children who are more altruistic. These parents emphasize the consequences for others when their children misbehave. They also emphasize the rights and needs of others. Repeated exposure to reasoning during discipline seems to promote children's ability to take the perspective of other people. Second, parents whose children are more altruistic model altruistic behavior for their children. Third, children who are routinely given opportunities to behave prosocially, such as setting the table for dinner, are more likely to be helpful spontaneously. So, by using reasoning in discipline, modeling altruistic behavior, and requiring Joe to help with household chores Enrique will increase the likelihood that Joe will engage in altruistic behavior.
