“…In a third meta-analysis (Eisenberg & Lennon, 1983), females were found to consistently report higher empathy than males; these differences were particularly pronounced in adults, where the mean effect size, d = .99, suggested a very large sex difference in empathy. More recent studies have corroborated these results with sex differences reported in college students (McGinley & Carlo, 2007) and adolescents (Carlo, Raffaelli, Laible, & Meyer, 1999). …”

This study investigated sex differences in observed prosocial and antisocial behaviors in soccer and the role of personal and social factors in explaining these differences. Male (n = 26) and female (n = 20) soccer teams, consisting of players (N = 464) whose age ranged from 15-47 years, participated in the study. For each team, a 90-min soccer game was videotaped, and questionnaires were administered to players measuring empathy, motivational climate, soccer experience, and demographics. Two observers recorded prosocial and antisocial behaviors for each team. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that males and females did not differ in prosocial behaviors, but males engaged in more antisocial acts than females. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the effects of sex on antisocial behavior were substantially reduced when behavior scores were adjusted for empathy, perceived performance climate, or soccer experience. Our findings underscore the importance of these variables in explaining sex differences in antisocial behavior in soccer.

“…This combined scale has been typically used in past research, and has shown high internal reliability, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from .82 to .85 (Carlo et al, 1999;McGinley & Carlo, 2007). In this study, the alpha coefficient of the combined scale was .76.…”

“…Other research findings related to gender differences in prosocial behaviors indicate that females tend to engage more often in emotional, altruistic and compliant prosocial behaviors than males, mainly because they are more empathetic. On the other hand, males are prone to engage more readily in public prosocial behaviors (McGinley & Carlo, 2007). As with the controversy surrounding the gender effect, in a more recent study Eagly (2009) found that although men and women did not differ in the levels of involvement in prosocial behaviors, they are different in the way of preference of particular categories of these actions.…”

Background The current study examined possible prosocial benefits of having a disabled sibling. Until now research has mainly focused on the negative effects of having a sibling with a disability. We hypothesized that regular and frequent interactions with a disabled person should result in an increase of positive attitude and empathy toward other people who are in a disadvantageous situation. Participants and procedure A sample of 208 students from public secondary schools (middle and high schools) completed the Polish version of the Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM) in order to assess the tendencies to prosocial behaviors in different conditions. Participants were between 13 and 18 years old. Ninety-six adolescents had a disabled sibling (group T) and 112 constituted the control group (group C). Results Results showed that group T generally scored higher than group C in the number of helping behaviors. Furthermore, girls scored higher than boys in anonymous prosocial behaviors. The older adolescents are more inclined to use helping behaviors both in anonymous and compliant situations than their younger colleagues. Conclusions Presence of disabled children in a family context may facilitate prosocial behavior in their non-disabled siblings. Older participants less frequently described themselves as prosocial in public situations. In contrast, younger adolescents reported weaker prosocial tendencies in anonymous and compliant situations. The effect of gender on prosocial tendencies was significant for public prosocial behavior, with a higher level achieved by males in this domain. Data analysis also showed significantly greater emotional and altruistic tendencies in females than in males.

“…Extension of this period might cause identity formation of the patient and addition of other mental disorders; thus causing lower response to treatment and unfavorable prognosis. Also, untreated CD is suggested as the cause of somatization, anxiety disorder or personality disorder in adult life 19,22,23 . Considering our finding that adolescents with CD arrive to other pediatric departments, clinicians in other departments must be informed about this disorder.…”
