Babcock, Florie; And Others
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v9 n2 p113-27 Spr-Sum 1995
Investigated prosocial behaviors of five-year olds interacting within different learning-activity centers in a multiage preschool setting. Subjects and their younger classmates were observed for a total of 45 hours. Found significantly more proximity seeking, helping, and sharing behaviors than other kinds of prosocial behaviors in the setting. Children were most prosocial in the creating-type centers. (AA)
