| Sumario: | Abstract: This article studies the relationship between parental variables (authoritative parental
style, maternal and paternal challenges), empathy, and prosocial flow with different types
of prosocial behaviors (prosocial behaviors toward different targets and different
motivations of prosocial behavior). The sample included 539 students of both sexes
(42.5% males; Mage¼ 19.13 years old, SD ¼ 1.92). The hierarchical multiple regression
analyses indicated that prosocial behaviors toward family, followed by toward friends,
are motivated to a much greater extent by the parental variable than by empathy and
prosocial flow. Conversely, when the prediction of prosocial behavior toward strangers
was analyzed, the variables that had greater weight were prosocial flow and empathy. In
relation to prosocial tendencies, the results showed that parental variables, empathy,
and prosocial flow explained a similar percentage of variables in the different types of
public, responsive, altruist, and anonymous prosocial tendencies. |
