description

The containment measures taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic have had consequences on human thought and behaviour. The purpose of this study is to contrast an explanatory model of prosocial behaviours during confinement by analysing different variables involved. The study sample was made up of 946 participants (70.9% female) and had an average age of 35.25 (SD = 13.98). Participants completed a series of online questionnaires. The results show that social support is a predictor of prosocial behaviours and resilience is a mediator in this relationship;living with others is a protective factor for social support;not working during confinement is a predictor for prosocial behaviours;and being female is a predictor of social support and prosocial behaviours. The proposed model explains 33% of the variance in prosocial behaviours and showed an optimal fit (χ2/gl = 1.68;CFI = .990;GFI = .985;RMSEA = .027). The results explain certain underlying mechanisms of prosociality in difficult times and reflect certain characteristics of the people most vulnerable to the consequences of confinement.

Esta investigacion persigue contrastar un modelo explicativo de las conductas prosociales durante un confinamiento analizando distintas variables implicadas. La muestra esta formada por 946 participantes (70.9% mujeres) con una edad media de 35.25 anos (SD = 13.98). Los participantes completaron una serie de cuestionarios online. Los resultados muestran que el apoyo social es predictor de las conductas prosociales y la resiliencia es mediadora en esta relacion;vivir en compania es un predictor del apoyo social y no trabajar durante el confinamiento lo es de las conductas prosociales;ser mujer es un predictor del apoyo social y las conductas prosociales. El modelo planteado explica el 33% de la varianza en conductas prosociales y muestra un ajuste optimo (χ2/gl = 1.68;CFI = .990;GFI = .985;RMSEA = .027). Los resultados explican algunos mecanismos subyacentes de la Prosocialidad en tiempos dificiles y reflejan algunas caracteristicas de las personas mas vulnerables a las consecuencias del confinamiento.
