Overview

Longitudinal analysis reveals parenting warmth influences youth's prosocial behavior toward outgroup peers, highlighting gender dynamics.

Key Points

  • Youth exposed to warm parenting displayed greater altruistic behavior towards other-gender peers over two years, emphasizing the importance of supportive parenting.
  • The study involved 358 youth with a mean age of 13, analyzing the impact of parenting on both altruistic and public prosocial behavior.
  • Path analyses showed that the interaction between parenting warmth and gender socialization significantly predicts youth's public prosocial behavior.
  • Overall findings suggest that parenting approaches can encourage prosocial behavior, though effects vary by youth gender and socialization practices.
