Systematic review of prosocial behavior measures

Abstract

Measuring prosocial conduct, just as other constructs which are relevant for psychological adjustment, requires a base of knowledge which is orderly and up-to-date, which helps to identify and methodological aspects for its construction. The objective of this study is to identify the instruments for measuring prosocial behavior which are available today in the empirical literature, as well as to analyze their characteristics and psychometric properties. In this study, the bibliographic search was carried out on the databases of web of science (WOS) and Dialnet from 1900 to 2017 with special emphasis on the last decade. Sixteen instruments relevant to prosocial behavior were chosen describing its applications and characteristics. There is a discussion of the implications of continuing research into measures of prosocial behavior.

The Relationship Between Green Space and Prosocial Behaviour Among Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review

“…The literature search was carried out in 5-6 October 2019 using nine frequently used databases, including PubMED (US National Library of Medicine, Maryland, U.S.), Scopus, ScienceDirect (Elsevier, Amsterdam, Netherlands), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, U.S.), PsycINFO, PsyschARTICLES (American Psychologist Association, Washington D.C., U.S.), CINAHL (EBSCO Publishing, Massachusetts, U.S.), Cochrane Library (John Wiley & Sons, New Jersey, U.S.), and ProQuest (ProQuest LLC, Michigan, U.S.). Guidance on the search terms selected was obtained from recently published systematic reviews on green space (Houlden et al, 2018;Vanaken and Danckaerts, 2018) and prosocial behaviour (Oviedo, 2016;Silke et al, 2018;Vilar et al, 2019). The terms as presented in Table 1 were searched in the titles, abstracts, and/or keywords of the articles.…”

How to Increase the Students’ Prosocial Behavior in the Era of Technology?

“…Prosocial behavior can be interpreted as a social glue that allows people of all ages to live together peacefully and productively [10]. Prosocial behavior can be measured using personal judgment, peer assessment, parent or teacher assessment, and instruments [11]. Developing social behavior is one of the ways to improve the meaningfulness of life.…”

Document Review: Journal Articles, Performance Evaluations, and Organizational Citizenship Terminology

“…Current research focused on learning if older terminology in current performance review documents is a barrier toward organizational leaders measuring OCBs during formal performance evaluations as compared to the newer terminology used by current researchers to define OCBs and measure employee performance.Organizational leaders must take note that employee retention depends upon providing recognition and rewards for a job well done(Ahn et al, 2018;Sguera et al, 2018;Tourigny et al, 2019). While most employees accept words of appreciation, such as "thank you," or "nice job," many people desire status, title, or monetary rewards(Conzelmann, 2020;Martí-Vilar et al, 2019;Way et al, 2018). Compensation and benefits include incentive strategies for performance improvement and organizational success.…”
