摘要:The effect of prosocial story telling and discussion on the development of children`s helping and sharing behaviors and prosocial reasoning was studied. Subjects were 36 five-year-old kindergarten children assigned to control or experimental groups. The research design consisted of a pre-test and pre-observation,6 week intervention,and post-test and post-observation. Data were collected by means of a video camera and analyzed by adjusted means and ANCOVA,using the SPSS/PC+. Both children`s helping behavior and prosocial reasoning was higher in the group exposed to prosocial story telling with discussion as compared with the group with story telling only and the control group.
