“…Each of the articles analyzed presented from one to four prosocial interventions, with the majority of articles (33 publications) presenting one intervention. In eight articles authors presented two interventions (Baumsteiger, 2019; Doescher & Sugawara, 1992; Johnson et al., 2013; Kramer et al., 2014; Mistry et al., 2016; Schonert‐Reichl et al., 2015; Solantaus et al., 2010; Villardón‐Gallego, García‐Carrión, Yáñez‐Marquina, & Estévez, 2018), two articles presented three interventions each (Böckler et al., 2018; Ramaswamy & Bergin, 2009), and one article examined four interventions (Dubow, Huesmann, & Eron, 1987). There was also a case of two articles devoted to the same intervention (Caprara et al., 2014, 2015).…”

“…Self‐instruction (SI) without a physically present trainer was used in one intervention. Individual coaching (IC) was applied in eight interventions, and in two interventions participants received individual training (IT), for example from their parents (Doescher & Sugawara, 1992). In three interventions, other (OTH) formats of treatment were used: the variable lighting system (Wessolowski, Koenig, Schulte‐Markwort, & Barkmann, 2014), school system and procedure change (Bradshaw et al., 2012), and an online application (Mesurado, Distefano, Robiolo, & Richaud, 2019).…”

This systematic review of the literature aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize studies assessing the effectiveness of interventions stimulating prosocial behavior. It concentrates on helping behavior and covers experimental and quasi‐experimental research concerning interventions carried out in different settings. This review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Of the initial sample of 4,653 publications found in databases, 49 articles met our inclusion criteria and were classified as eligible for data extraction and narrative synthesis. The studies included in the review assessed 63 interventions, most of them targeted at children and adolescents. We distinguished three strategies stimulating prosocial behavior: behavioral, cognitive, and emotional. This review is informative for both researchers and practitioners. It provides researchers with methodological guidelines concerning how to conduct studies on the effectiveness of prosocial interventions, and it provides practitioners with guidelines on empirically tested strategies for stimulating prosocial helping behavior.

“…To understand the effects of the program on prosocial behavior, the revised, prosocial behavior questionnaire by Lee (1996) was used. This questionnaire is based on the prosocial behavior questionnaire developed by Weir and Duveen (1981) and the modified prosocial behavior questionnaire by Doescher (1985). This questionnaire used a three-point Likert scale and consisted of a total of 20 questions with four subscales such as helping, sharing, cooperation, and kindness.…”

The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of a horticultural activity program on the emotional intelligence, prosocial behavior, and scientific investigation abilities and attitudes of kindergarteners. A total of 336 children aged 5 to 7 years in public and private kindergartens and day care centers in Incheon, South Korea, participated in a 24-session horticultural activity program. This program included indoor and outdoor activities such as planting seeds, transplanting plants, making and applying eco-friendly fertilizer, watering, harvesting, using plants to make crafts, and cooking with produce. It was designed to improve the emotional intelligence, prosocial behavior, and scientific investigation abilities and attitudes of kindergarteners. Each session lasted an average of 50 minutes and was held once per week. The results of the study showed that the 24-session horticultural activity program improved the emotional intelligence, prosocial behavior, and scientific investigation abilities and attitudes of the children (P < 0.05). Satisfaction with the program was very high among both the children and their teachers and parents. Future studies should consider exploring the effects of horticultural activity programs on children in different age groups.

“…Research which investigated the impact of adult modeling and encouragement in prosocial home-and school-based interventions on preschool children's cooperative behavior discovered that in order to facilitate the development of cooperative parent-child relationships, parents needed some assistance from professional modeling behaviors at home (Doeschar & Sugawara, 1992 (Blair et al, 2011). Implementing all these procedures at home can be difficult.…”
