Empathy and Responsibility in the Motivation of Children's Helping.
Chapman, Michael; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p140-45 Jan 1987
To investigate affective and dispositional factors in the motivation of children's helping, 60 children ranging from preschool to sixth grade were observed in laboratory distress incidents. Results indicated that helping tended to be positively correlated with positive affect and negatively correlated with negative and neutral affect. (Author/RH)
