In this review, we describe the development of prosocial behavior in adolescence as a critical inflection period for social adjustment. Experimental research using prosocial giving tasks demonstrates that adolescents differentiate more between recipients and contexts, suggesting increasing ingroup-outgroup differentiation during adolescence. We also demonstrate that social brain development during adolescence is partly driven by environmental influences, further underlining adolescence as a critical period for social development. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have long-term effects on the current generation of adolescents, for which we describe both the risks, resilience factors, and opportunities for engaging in prosocial acts of kindness.
在这篇综述中，我们将青少年期的亲社会行为发展描述为社会适应的关键转折点。使用亲社会给予任务的实验研究表明，青少年在接受者和情境之间的差异更大，这表明青少年期的群体间差异逐渐增大。我们还表明，青少年期的社会大脑发育部分受到环境影响的驱动，这进一步强调了青少年期是社会发展的关键时期。COVID-19 大流行已经并将对当前这一代青少年产生长期影响，我们描述了他们面临的风险、适应因素以及参与亲社会善行的机会。
