“…Methods of improving the prosocial behavior of children and adolescents have become an urgent issue for psychologists and educators [ 21 ]. Psychotherapy, reading therapy, family therapy and school intervention are the main strategies to improve prosocial behaviors for children and adolescents [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. However, these strategies have achieved little effect due to material costs, time, space and implementation difficulty.…”

Prosocial behavior plays a key role in interpersonal relationships during the growth of children and adolescents. Good prosocial behavior is the foundation for the healthy development of children and adolescents. In recent years, the role played by some sports activities in children and adolescents’ prosocial behaviors has attracted much attention. However, the effects of physical activity on prosocial behavior have not been summarized. Objective: We aimed to clarify the role of sports activities in children and adolescents’ prosocial behaviors. Methods: We searched databases for 27 interventional studies on the influence of sports activities on children and adolescents’ prosocial behaviors published in peer-reviewed English journals. Subsequently, inductive, summary, analytical, and evaluation methods were used to systematically analyze and evaluate the literature. Results: Sports activities can improve children and adolescents’ prosocial behaviors. Different sports activities also influence children and adolescents’ prosocial behaviors differently. Moreover, sports activities can improve the prosocial behaviors of children and adolescents with special educational needs. Conclusion: This review demonstrates that sports activities improve the prosocial behavior of children and adolescents. At the same time, we find that children and adolescents with special educational needs should be allowed to participate in more sports activities.

“…Interventions described in recent studies generally have focused on language acquisition, verbal interactions, and social scripts (Krantz & McClannahan, 1998;Taylor & Harris, 1995). Studies that target nonverbal social skills such as eye contact, appropriate affect (i.e., facial expression), and physical orientation toward others have been studied less in recent years (Matson et al, 1988;Taras, Matson, & Leary, 1988). Given that both verbal and nonverbal social skills deficits are common in this population, research that addresses both domains of social behavior is needed.…”

Social skills deficits are a defining feature of individuals diagnosed with autism and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), which can impair functioning and put the individual at higher risk for developing problem behavior (e.g., self-injury, aggression). In the current study, an adolescent with PDD displayed inappropriate social behavior (inappropriate comments, social withdrawal, and touching others without their permission) during social interactions. An intervention using instructions, differential reinforcement, and corrective feedback successfully reduced inappropriate social behaviors.
