How do parenting support and emotions relate to prosocial behavior in different adolescent settings?

Examines acceptance, emotional processes and prosocial behavior in two different adolescent contexts. It brings attention to support and circumstances without treating young people in detention as a uniform group.

Who was studied?

Adolescents from schools and youth detention centers in Valencia, Spain.

Age / stage: 15–18 years

Read with three questions

  1. How did the school and youth-detention samples differ?
  2. Which pathways involved empathy and which involved emotional instability?
  3. Were the same statistical patterns found in both groups?

Keep the limits in view

One-time self-report data cannot establish causal pathways or their direction. The regional and institutional samples constrain generalization, and group comparisons do not explain an individual child’s behavior.
