  • The Roots of Prosocial Behavior in Children

    Open AccessNancy Eisenberg, Paul Mussen et al.BOOKRoots of Prosocial Behavior in…1989

    What kinds of childbearing practices foster the development of helping, sharing, and other prosocial behaviours? What roles do biology and culture play in the development of prosocial behaviour? In this book, Nancy Eisenberg and Paul Mussen review and summarize scholarly research that has been devoted to the development of prosocial behaviour in children, and examine the variety of influences that contribute to children's prosocial development, i…

  • Socialization in the family

    Open AccessNancy Eisenberg, Paul MussenCHAPTERRoots of Prosocial Behavior in…1989

    As we have seen, children generally acquire the patterns of behavior, motives, personal characteristics, predispositions, values, and social responses that are adaptive and expected in their own cultures. Most children reared in Mexican villages, Hopi children on reservations in the Southwest, and youngsters on Israeli kibbutzim are more considerate, kind, and cooperative than their “typical” middle-class American counterparts

  • Empathy and moral development in adolescence

    Nancy Eisenberg-Berg, Paul MussenARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1978Cited by: 35

    The relationship between empathy and two measures of moral development (prosocial moral reasoning and helping) and parental socialization practices was examined using a sample of 72 ninth, eleventh, and twelfth graders. Empathy was significantly related to moral reasoning for both sexes and to helping for males. Maternal child-rearing practices were related to sons' empathy; mothers of highly empathic boys were nonpunitive, nonrestrictive, egalit…

  • The Origins and Development of Concepts of Justice

    Open AccessNancy Eisenberg Berg, Paul MussenARTICLEJournal of Social Issues1975Cited by: 2References: 29

    The origins and development of concepts of justice are examined from three theoretical points of view—learning theory, psychoanalysis, and cognitive developmental theory. Cognitive developmental theory and research, particularly the work of Piaget and Kohlberg, has contributed most to our understanding of children's ideas of justice and how these change and mature. Empirical data supporting the hypothesis that concepts of justice develop through …

  • An Example of the Use of the Incomplete Sentence Test in Applied Anthropological Research

    Joseph F Rychlak, Paul Mussen et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization1957Cited by: 1References: 9

    This paper describes one use of a comparatively simple, semistructured projective technique, the Incomplete Sentence Test (IST). The test has the merits of ready adaptation to varied research problems and relative ease of administration and interpretation. It is offered here as a possible addition to the test battery used by anthropologists engaged in studying individual response to culture change and contact

  • Relationships Among Child Training Practices

    William H Sewell, Paul Mussen et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1955Cited by: 5

    THE vital importance of early parentchild relationships in the etiology of behavior deviations has been widely accepted in clinical practice, and a number of systematic psychological studies have been focused on the general problem of the effects of early environment and parental treatment on the individual's later personality.' These studies have been of two major types. One group of investigations has

  • The relationships between overt and fantasy aggression

    Paul Mussen, Paul H Mussen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Abnormal & Social…1954Cited by: 5

    The interrelationships among aggressive needs, anticipation of punishment, and overt aggressive behavior in 29 lower-class boys were investigated in this study. Three hypotheses were tested: 1) among lower class boys, those having a relatively great amount of fantasy aggressive needs indulge in more overt aggressive behavior than those who have relatively few aggressive fantasy needs; 2) Ss whose TAT stories included a great deal of punishment pr…
