Abstract

Abstract. The aim of our study was to test the effectiveness of the prosocial goals intervention in adolescents. We tested its effects on prosocial behavior as assessed by the decomposed game (DG) and the Efforts for Charity Index (ECI) capturing actual behavior leading to charitable donations. We applied a randomized controlled trial with four measurements. The results showed statistically significant effects of the intervention on the ECI, even when the baseline level of prosocial behavior and participants’ age were controlled for, but revealed no significant effects on the DG. The ECI proved to be a reliable and sensitive behavioral tool assessing changes in prosocial behavior. This short intervention facilitating prosocial goal realization may be useful for practitioners working with adolescents.
亲社会目标干预的有效性
摘要本研究的目的是检验亲社会目标干预在青少年中的有效性。我们通过分解博弈(DG)和慈善努力指数(ECI)来评估其对亲社会行为的影响,该指数捕捉了导致慈善捐赠的实际行为。我们采用了一项随机对照试验,有四种测量方法。结果显示,即使在控制亲社会行为基线水平和参与者年龄的情况下,干预对ECI的影响也有统计学意义,但对DG没有显著影响。ECI被证明是评估亲社会行为变化的可靠和敏感的行为工具。这种促进亲社会目标实现的短期干预可能对从事青少年工作的从业者有用。
