“…Subgroup analyses detecting sources of heterogeneity revealed differences with regard to the continents. These results are in line with the findings of other studies that have already found cultural differences regarding morality (Cowell et al, 2017;Myyry et al, 2021;Sachdeva et al, 2011). These differences should be considered in future analyses.…”

The importance of self-regulatory skills for the socio-emotional competencies of children is being researched and discussed extensively. However, in order to make a clear statement about the impact of self-regulation on children’s morality, a systematic review of the literature is urgently needed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyze associations between self-regulation and morality of preschool and elementary school children. In this context, distinctions among different definitions and operationalizations of self-regulation and morality are considered. Search terms were entered in the bibliographic databases PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science. To meet the inclusion criterion, studies needed to report empirical associations between self-regulation and morality in children of preschool and elementary school age. Furthermore, the studies should report primary data and be published in English in a peer-reviewed journal. Studies with secondary or summarized data, special populations or with certain designs were excluded. A total of 37 studies were included in the narrative synthesis. 35 of these studies were included in the meta-analysis. The narrative synthesis showed that different definitions and operationalizations were used for both self-regulation and morality. There also seems to be no consensus regarding the association between the constructs. Meta-analysis results revealed a small positive combined effect between self-regulation and morality, especially between temperament-related self-regulation and moral behavior and moral emotions. In order to gain a better understanding of the effects of self-regulation on morality, longitudinal research and further research addressing different forms of these constructs are essential.

“…. In line with the aforementioned assertions, numerous studies have discovered that prosociality in young adults is significantly correlated with having higher levels of self-transcendence values than prosociality with any other value including: hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, achievement, and power (Abramson et al, 2018;Danioni & Barni, 2019Kesberg & Keller, 2021;Lee & Cho, 2019;Leijen et al, 2022;Myyry et al, 2021;Saroglou et al, 2020;Vecchione et al, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the joint and independent contributions of power, security, conformity, tradition, benevolence, universalism, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism and achievement values to the variance in motivation to volunteer. The data were collected from 153 volunteers who were providing volunteer services in Hawassa, Misrak, and Mehal Sub-Cities. Quantitative data analysis was used. Similarly, means, standard deviations, logistic regression, discriminant analyses, item and factor analyses, t-tests, and bar charts were used to examine the data gathered from the two volunteer groups. The study finding from regression analysis indicated that the three most prominent factors that significantly contributed to the variance in motivation to volunteer were: security, universalism, and selfdirection. Analysis which employed structure coefficients and discriminant analysis nonetheless added stimulation and power as important variables in predicting self-interested motivation to volunteer. Theseresults plainly highlighted that the major contributing factors to self-interested motivation to volunteer were self-expressive orientation variables. In other words, volunteers who displayed self-interested motivation to volunteer if they were not bothered by the stability of society in their relationships, had no value for the protection of all people did not want to avoid the threat of uncertainties by controlling relationships or resources, and were internally interested in personal judgment and uniqueness. This may have implications for volunteering service institutions in that there is a need for an intervention program which is intended to encourage people to develop and internalize other-oriented value priorities for volunteer involvement.

The results of the study indicate that the more social support a student gets, the higher the interpersonal trust, the more harmonious interpersonal relationship, and the higher the willingness to conduct prosocial behavior. The objective of this study is to examine the sense of social connectedness (SSC) and prosocial behavior (PB) of students in Guangxi higher education institutions in China and to further understand the factors influencing PB of students in higher education. In this study, a total of 1,007 students were sampled from eight Guangxi higher vocational schools through purposive sampling using questionnaires, of which 676 (67.1%) were male students and 331 (32.9%) were female students. This study further enriches self-determination theory by exploring the effects of teachers’ character, teaching behaviors, and social support on PB, using SSC as an intrinsic motivation. In addition, the study results revealed that SSC, perceived teacher character, teaching behaviors, and perceived social support (PSS) were positively related to students’ PB. SSC affects PB not only directly but also indirectly through the mediating role of perceived teacher character teaching behavior and perceived teacher support. Teacher character, teaching behaviors, and PSS also play a chain mediating role in the relationship between SSC and PB. Finally, this study provides strategies to optimize school character management for higher education students to meet their basic psychological needs and thus promote the production of PB.
