Moral Attitudes Predict Cheating and Gamesmanship Behaviors Among Competitive Tennis Players
2017
Background: The present study tested Lee et al.’s (2008) model of moral attitudes and cheating behavior in sports in an Italian sample of young tennis players and extended it to predict behavior in actual match play. In the first phase of the study we proposed that moral, competence and status values would predict prosocial and antisocial moral attitudes directly, and indirectly through athletes’ goal orientations. In the second phase, we hypothesized that moral attitudes would directly predict actual cheating behavior observed during match play.\ud \ud Method: Adolescent competitive tennis players (N = 314, 76.75% males, M age = 14.36 years, SD = 1.50) completed measures of values, goal or…
¿Puede utilizarse la prosocialidad aplicada al tabaquismo?
2018
El tabaquismo es la primera causa de muerte prevenible en los países desarrollados y su mortalidad anual es muy alta. La nicotina es la responsable de causar la dependencia física y psicosocial. La OMS, desde el 2003 ha facilitado unas directrices para ir mejorando en el control del tabaquismo. Esta enfermedad se trata con terapias psicológicas y farmacológicas reconocidas por la comunidad científica. La prosocialidad aplicada incluye comportamientos que benefician a otros según sus propios criterios, si el fumador invierte tiempo en este modelo se podría beneficiar en el descentramiento del “yo” para favorecer el éxito en dejar de fumar y mejorar en las relaciones interpersonales. Esta qui…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
Fomento de la interacción social (conducta prosocial): correlatos neurobiológicos en el Transtorno de Espectro Autista
2015
Recientemente se ha observado un enorme incremento en la prevalencia del Trastorno de Espectro Autista (TEA) cuyos síntomas nucleares están relacionados con el déficit marcado en la comunicación e interacción social. El objetivo del trabajo fue realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre los factores neurobiológicos implicados en el fomento de la conducta social (conducta prosocial) en el TEA, en la última década. Las hormonas y neurotransmisores más relevantes serían la oxitocina, la vasopresina, la serotonina, andrógenos y estrógenos. En cuanto a neuroanatomía y sistema neuronales destacan la ínsula anterior, la amígdala, la zona fronto-parietal, el giro fusiforme y el sistema de neurona…
The impact of children’s socioemotional development on parenting styles: the moderating effect of social withdrawal
2020
This study focused on associations between children’s socioemotional development (prosocial behaviour, internalizing and externalizing problems) and parenting styles (affection, behavioural control, and psychological control), and the moderating role of children’s social withdrawal (as a temperamental characteristic) in these associations. Children’s socioemotional development (n = 314) were rated by teachers at three-time points (grades 1–3). Parents completed questionnaires measuring their parenting styles at the same three-time points. The level of social withdrawal was obtained at the end of kindergarten from teachers’ reports. Panel analysis showed that prosocial behaviour was associat…
The Emotion Detectives Game: Supporting the Social-emotional Competence of Young Children
2017
The potential of digital games to enhance learning in different areas of child development has drawn increasing interest amid growing concern about children’s emotional well-being, social-emotional difficulties, and problem behaviors alongside diminishing economic resources for intervention and habilitation. However, digital games designed to promote social-emotional competence are surprisingly scarce. In this chapter, we explore children’s use of the digital game Emotion Detectives (ED), designed to promote children’s acquisition of emotional knowledge skills (e.g., recognizing, appreciating, and understanding emotions and their expressions), prosocial behaviors (e.g., helping, sharing, co…
Vērtību saistība ar prosociālas uzvedības un ziedošanas tendencēm
2019
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistības starp vērtībām, prosociālu uzvedību un ziedošanas tendencēm. Pētījumā piedalījās 104 respondenti vecumā no 17 līdz 58 gadiem, no kuriem 84 bija sievietes un 20 vīrieši. Lai atbildētu uz pētījuma jautājumu, tika izmantotas 3 aptaujas: Portreta vērtību aptauja (The Portrait Values Questionnaire. PVQ; Schwartz, Melech, Lehmann, Burgess, & Harris, 2001), Prosociālo tendenču aptauja (Prosocial Tendencies Measure. PTM; Carlo & Randall, 2002) un adaptēta Labdarības ziedojumu aptauja (Charity Donation Questionnaire.CDQ; Bīdermane, 2019). Iegūtie rezultāti norāda, ka pastāv statistiski nozīmīgas saistības starp šiem konstruktiem. Universālisms un…
Eudaimonia Wellbeing Beliefs and its implications for employees´ wellbeing, organizational performance, and helping others
2018
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to examine the impact of eudaimonia wellbeing beliefs – people conception of the nature and experience of wellbeing – on their wellbeing at workplace, on the organizational performance focused on helping others and on specific prosocial behaviours. Three empirical studies were conducted to this end, using different research designs and samples. Study 1 analyses the moderating role of the two dimensions of eudaimonia wellbeing beliefs (contribution-to-others and self-development) in the relationship between surface acting and exhaustion. We use a cross-sectional self-reported design and a sample of 817 front line employees working in 118 health care organiz…
