A Comparison of Prosocial Behavior of Children with and without Day Care Experience.
Schenk, Vicky M.; Grusec, Joan E.
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v33 n2 p231-40 Apr 1987
Responses of day care and home care children to an adult dropping items, banging her knee, giving the children opportunity to leave the larger of two prizes for a peer, and asking for donation to sick children were compared. Prosocial reasoning in these 47- to 75-month-old children was assessed via their responses to stories in which help was needed. (Author/BN)
