In this commentary, I delineate several questions raised by the Hammond and Drummond (2019) paper: (a) to why there seems to be an association between state positive emotion and prosocial behavior in young children, and if and how early positively tinged prosocial behavior provides a pathway to (b) later prosocial behavior more generally (normatively) and (c) to individual differences in the development of prosocial behavior and motives. In doing so, several possible mechanisms or processes (e.g., maintenance of a positive mood, enjoyment of social interaction, the effect of positive social interaction on caring) are briefly discussed. Moreover, the potential importance of attachment status in understanding the relation of positive emotion to prosocial behavior is highlighted.

在这篇评论中，我阐述了 Hammond 和 Drummond（2019）的论文提出的几个问题：（a）为什么在幼儿中，州的积极情绪和亲社会行为之间似乎存在关联，如果以及如何早期积极的亲社会行为为（b）更普遍（规范地）的后期亲社会行为和（c）亲社会行为和动机发展的个体差异提供途径。在这样做的过程中，简要讨论了几种可能的机制或过程（例如，积极情绪的维持、社会互动的享受、积极社会互动对关怀的影响）。此外，还强调了依恋状态在理解积极情绪与亲社会行为关系方面的重要性。（心理学文摘数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
