Prosocial behavior plays a vital role in adolescents' well-being and social functioning, with the recall of early emotional experiences being a major influence. Positive experiences such as early memories of warmth and safeness (EMWS) contribute to prosocial interpersonal characteristics, whereas adverse experiences such as child psychological abuse and neglect (CPAN) lead to social withdrawal or behavioral problems. The direct effects of EMWS and CPAN on prosocial behavior were investigated in this study, along with the mediation effect of psychological and the moderation effect of subjective socioeconomic status (SSS). A sample of 948 adolescents ( = 14.05 years, = 1.68 years; 43.6% females) was randomly recruited to complete self-report questionnaires. Correlation results indicated that EMWS promoted prosocial behavior, whereas CPAN was negatively associated with prosocial behavior. Path analyses confirmed the mediating role of psychological on the effects of EMWS and CPAN on prosocial behavior. SSS was shown to moderate the effects of EMWS on prosocial behavior and CPAN on psychological . Compared to lower SSS, higher SSS would reinforce the positive impact of EMWS on prosocial behavior and exacerbate the negative impact of CPAN on psychological . The current study provided new insight into understanding the underlying mechanisms of prosocial behavior from the perspective of early emotional experiences.
亲社会行为在青少年的幸福和社会功能中起着至关重要的作用，早期情感经历的回忆是一个主要影响因素。诸如早期温暖和安全感记忆（EMWS）等积极经历有助于形成亲社会的人际特征，而诸如儿童心理虐待和忽视（CPAN）等不良经历则会导致社交退缩或行为问题。本研究调查了EMWS和CPAN对亲社会行为的直接影响，以及心理因素的中介作用和主观社会经济地位（SSS）的调节作用。随机招募了948名青少年（平均年龄=14.05岁，标准差=1.68岁；43.6%为女性）来完成自我报告问卷。相关结果表明，EMWS促进亲社会行为，而CPAN与亲社会行为呈负相关。路径分析证实了心理因素在EMWS和CPAN对亲社会行为影响中的中介作用。研究表明，SSS调节了EMWS对亲社会行为的影响以及CPAN对心理因素的影响。与较低的SSS相比，较高的SSS会加强EMWS对亲社会行为的积极影响，并加剧CPAN对心理因素的负面影响。本研究为从早期情感经历的角度理解亲社会行为的潜在机制提供了新的见解。
