The aim of this study was to clarify various aspects and dimensions of the prosociality concept in later life as an important concept that gains significance in people as they age. This concept has been expressed through a variety of dimensions in different studies. This is a scoping review of the relevant literature on the concept of prosociality and its dimensions in later life, including quantitative and qualitative studies. The required data were collected from Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases between the years 1987 and 2022. First, 877 articles were identified, and after the screening phase, 57 eligible studies were reviewed. Two main categories, prosocial dispositions and prosocial behaviors, and seven subcategories were extracted. The subcategories of prosocial dispositions include empathy, prosocial norms, innate tendencies, and generative desires. Prosocial behaviors subcategories include informal spontaneous helping, formal planned helping, and pro-environmental behaviors. The various aspects and dimensions of the prosociality concept in later life identified in this study can be used as a basis for assessing and planning the promotion of prosociality among older adults.
本研究的目的是阐明晚年亲社会概念的各个方面和维度，这是一个随着人们年龄增长而变得重要的概念。在不同的研究中，这个概念通过多种维度得以体现。 这是一项对晚年亲社会概念及其维度的相关文献的范围综述，包括定量和定性研究。所需数据于1987年至2022年间从科学网、Scopus、PubMed、ProQuest和谷歌学术数据库中收集。 首先，识别出877篇文章，经过筛选阶段后，对57项符合条件的研究进行了综述。提取了两个主要类别，即亲社会倾向和亲社会行为，以及七个子类别。亲社会倾向的子类别包括同理心、亲社会规范、内在倾向和生成欲望。亲社会行为的子类别包括非正式的自发帮助、正式的有计划帮助和环保行为。 本研究中确定的晚年亲社会概念的各个方面和维度可作为评估和规划促进老年人亲社会行为的基础。
