The Effect of Self Reflection on Preschool Children's Empathic Understanding and Prosocial Behavior
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe present study investigated the effect of providing preschool children with opportunities to reflect upon their own feelings as a means to enhance their empathic understanding and prosocial behavior. Seventy-one children from four preschool classrooms were pretested on measures of empathic understanding, verbal ability, prosocial responsiveness and the "normativeness" of their wishes. Performance on these measures served as criterion for selection of forty-two children who served as subjects. The mean age of subjects was 4 years and 6 months. The preschool classrooms were all located in middle class areas of Champaign-Urbana.
