The Influence of Parents on Socialization Processes Related to Prosocial Development in Children and Adolescents
Öz
This article addresses the relations between parental socialization practices
and prosocial behaviors in children and adolescents. Theorists and researchers have
suggested that parental support, affection, warmth or responsiveness influences
positively socialization processes. Children may attend to and care more about the
parental socialization messages in a supportive, warm, responsive and democratic
family environment. Parents who exhibit democratic attitudes and behaviors exert
control in order to attain expected and desired behaviors for their children. They can
induce empathy, perspective-taking and sympathy in their children by pointing out the beneficial or harmful consequences of their actions through inductive reasoning
and explanations. Children and adolescents can use prosocial moral reasoning and
display prosocial behaviors when they see perspectives of others and experience
empathy, guilt and sympathy more vicariously.
