Studying prosociality in children is a complex but relevant issue related to the qualitative development of human interactions. The main objective of the present study is to identify the psychosocial factors that most promote or inhibit the adoption of prosocial behaviours among children.
In Spring 2021, a survey was conducted amongst primary school children through a structured paper questionnaire. The data analysis has been carried out through bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques. Path analysis has been used.
The results highlight the role played by the parental education level, the perception of positive and negative emotions, the adherence to gender roles and the involvement in cyberbullying actions in predicting prosocial tendencies among children. On the other hand, adopting prosocial behaviours affects the screen-time as well as the devices' interference in face-to-face interactions and the attitude towards school.
The results are relevant and useful for the study of trends in prosocial behaviours among children. Family education level, individual status, peer interactions and social conditionings are variables that highly influence this multidimensional phenomenon. Further research is needed, including the definition of new measures and indicators concerning the context where children live and interact with others, with the aim of designing interventions aimed at facilitating relational well-being of children.
研究儿童的亲社会行为是一个复杂但相关的问题，与人际互动的质性发展有关。本研究的主要目的是确定最能促进或抑制儿童亲社会行为的心理社会因素。
2021年春季，通过结构化纸质问卷对小学生进行了一项调查。数据分析通过双变量和多变量统计技术进行。采用了路径分析。
结果突出了父母教育水平、对积极和消极情绪的感知、对性别角色的认同以及参与网络欺凌行为在预测儿童亲社会倾向方面所起的作用。另一方面，采取亲社会行为会影响屏幕使用时间以及设备对面对面互动的干扰和对学校的态度。
这些结果对于研究儿童亲社会行为趋势具有相关性和实用性。家庭教育水平、个人状况、同伴互动和社会条件是高度影响这一多维度现象的变量。需要进一步开展研究，包括定义有关儿童生活及与他人互动背景的新措施和指标，以便设计旨在促进儿童关系幸福感的干预措施。
