While research has found a link between ToM and prosociality in terms of caring and helping others which may also vary across cultures, the moderating role of spirituality and culture of this association in emerging adolescence has received little attention.
The current study empirically "examined" the role of spirituality and gender in relation to ToM and prosocial behavior in Canadian and Iranian emerging adolescents. A total of 300 (153 girls) emerging adolescents ( = 11.502, SD = 2.228) were recruited from Montreal, Canada and Karaj, Iran. A series of double moderation analysis and ANOVA was conducted.
Results indicated the difference between direct and indirect influences of ToM and its interactions with culture, gender, and spirituality on prosocial behavior. This implies an emerging complex framework which suggests the dynamic nonlinear interactions between these factors. Implications for youth's social-emotional understanding will be discussed.
虽然研究发现心理理论（ToM）与关爱和帮助他人方面的亲社会行为之间存在联系，而且这种联系可能因文化而异，但在青少年时期，灵性和文化对这种关联的调节作用却很少受到关注。
本研究通过实证研究“考察”了灵性和性别在加拿大和伊朗青少年中与心理理论及亲社会行为的关系。从加拿大蒙特利尔和伊朗卡拉季招募了总共300名（153名女孩）青少年（平均年龄=11.502岁，标准差=2.228）。进行了一系列双因素调节分析和方差分析。
结果表明了心理理论对亲社会行为的直接和间接影响及其与文化、性别和灵性的相互作用之间的差异。这意味着一个新出现的复杂框架，表明这些因素之间存在动态非线性相互作用。将讨论对青少年社会情感理解的启示。
