Forgiveness, Gratitude, Happiness, and Prosocial Bystander Behavior in Bullying

“…Results from the alternative model suggest that prosocial bystander behavior positively relates to virtues and happiness in adolescence. This evidence is consistent with past literature that reports a positive impact of prosocial behavior in virtues development (Lerner et al, 2003;Dunn et al, 2014;Aknin et al, 2015;Carlo et al, 2015;Fu et al, 2017;Al-yaaribi et al, 2018;Curry et al, 2018;Bieda et al, 2019). Although the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear, the current body of the literature suggests that the effect of happiness in prosocial behavior is related to adolescents' perceptions about positive consequences of their behavior in their own and others' wellbeing (Bierhoff, 2002;Rudd et al, 2014;Paulus and Moore, 2016).…”

“…Since previous scholars have reported direct and indirect positive relations between gratitude, forgiveness, happiness, and prosocial behavior (Meier and Stutzer, 2008;Rudd et al, 2014;Light et al, 2015;Sulemana, 2016;Riek and DeWit, 2018;Yost-Dubrow and Dunham, 2018), a positive relationship between these variables and prosocial behavior in bullying was anticipated. Moreover, prosocial behavior was expected to influence character strengths and happiness, as previous empirical evidence has shown (Lerner et al, 2003;Dunn et al, 2014;Aknin et al, 2015;Carlo et al, 2015;Fu et al, 2017;Al-yaaribi et al, 2018;Bieda et al, 2019). Finally, no hypothesis was made about the effect of gender and adolescence stage in the proposed model due to the fact that the current literature is inconclusive and even contradictory (Carlo et al, 2007(Carlo et al, , 2015Luengo Kanacri et al, 2013;Flynn et al, 2014;Van der Graaff et al, 2014;Padilla-Walker et al, 2018).…”

Prosocial and antisocial behaviour in sport

“…The effects of prosocial teammate behaviour on emotion and sport performance have also been examined in a recent experiment, that simulated competitive sport conditions (Al-Yaaribi, Kavussanu, & Ring, 2018). Participants were randomly assigned to a prosocial, antisocial, or control group, were paired with a "teammate" (i.e.…”

Analysis of the Different Scenarios of Coach’s Anger on the Performance of Youth Basketball Teams

“…In competition, the positive emotions of one team’s members can influence the failure of those in the other [ 10 ]; likewise, the emotions shown by the coach will affect the emotional state of the players—positively or negatively—and the resulting behaviour influences team cohesion and performance [ 11 ]. Many coaches are unaware of the negative effect that their attitude can have on athletes, with consequences that affect their motivation, decision making, anxiety, confidence, and even aspects of their physiology and, therefore, their performance [ 12 ].…”
