The disruptions to community functioning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic spurred individuals to action. This empirical study investigated the social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) skill antecedents to college students' volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 248, Mage = 20.6). We assessed eight SEB skills at the onset of a volunteering program, and students' volunteer hours were assessed 10-weeks later. Approximately 41.5% of the sample did not complete any volunteer hours. Higher levels of perspective taking skill, abstract thinking skill, and stress regulation were associated with more time spent volunteering. These results suggest that strength in particular SEB skills can prospectively predict prosocial civic behaviors.
由于 COVID-19 大流行对社区功能的破坏，促使个人采取行动。这项实证研究调查了大学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间（N=248，平均年龄=20.6）参与志愿服务的社会、情感和行为（SEB）技能的前因。我们在志愿服务计划开始时评估了八项 SEB 技能，并且在 10 周后评估了学生的志愿者时间。大约 41.5%的样本没有完成任何志愿者时间。换位思考技能、抽象思维技能和压力调节技能水平较高与更多的志愿服务时间相关。这些结果表明，特定 SEB 技能的优势可以预测亲社会的公民行为。
