Parents or Peers? Predictors of Prosocial Behavior and Aggression: A Longitudinal Study
2019

Development of Prosocial Behavior in Spanish Adolescents and Its Relations to Parenting Styles
2019
The goal of this chapter is to describe how parenting relates to prosocial development in Spanish adolescents. Although not a lot of work has been done on Spanish youth, the work that has been done has largely paralleled the work done on European American youth. We present evidence from a longitudinal study that examines how support and communication, psychological control, and permissiveness from both mothers and fathers change across adolescence and relate to prosocial behavior in a large sample of Spanish adolescents. Adolescent prosocial behavior was relatively stable. Both mothers and fathers became more permissive and supportive across adolescence, but less psychologically controlling…

2020
Il comportamento prosociale è una tematica che si pone al centro del percorso formativo degli educatori di comunità, il cui profilo professionale mira alla promozione e all’incoraggiamento degli aspetti positivi negli individui e nei gruppi, implicando l’eliminazione dei comportamenti sociali indesiderati. Ma come educa in tal senso? E, soprattutto, quali motivazioni supportano il suo intervento? È necessario soffermarsi su quest’ultimo aspetto perché, come afferma Titta (2018), «È interessante non dimenticare che tale attività, fino a pochi decenni fa, era legata allo spirito di carità di religiosi e del mondo cattolico in generale, quindi a dei valori ideologici morali e spirituali di un …
P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation
2017
Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …
