Toddlers’ Responses to Infants’ Negative Emotions
Early developments in toddlers’ responses to adults’ distress have been extensively examined, but less work has been directed to young children's responses to other children in distress. In the current study, we examined 12‐, 18‐, and 24‐month‐old children's ( N = 71) behavioral and affective responses to a crying infant (doll) present in the room with the child. A comparison condition included a contented, neutral infant to contrast with the cry…
Socialization of Early Prosocial Behavior: Parents’ Talk About Emotions is Associated With Sharing and Helping in Toddlers
What role does socialization play in the origins of prosocial behavior? We examined one potential socialization mechanism – parents’ discourse about others’ emotions with very young children in whom prosocial behavior is still nascent. Two studies are reported, one of sharing in 18‐ and 24‐month‐olds ( n = 29) and one of instrumental and empathy‐based helping in 18‐ and 30‐month‐olds ( n = 62). In both studies, parents read age‐appropriate pictur…

Toddlers’ Prosocial Behavior: From Instrumental to Empathic to Altruistic Helping
The study explored how the meaning of prosocial behavior changes over toddlerhood. Sixty-five 18- and 30-month-olds could help an adult in 3 contexts: instrumental (action based), empathic (emotion based), and altruistic (costly). Children at both ages helped readily in instrumental tasks. For 18-month-olds, empathic helping was significantly more difficult than instrumental helping and required greater communication from the adult about her need…
To Share or Not to Share: When Do Toddlers Respond to Another's Needs
The developmental origins of sharing remain little understood. Using procedures adapted from research on prosocial behavior in chimpanzees, we presented 18‐ and 25‐month‐old children with a sharing task in which they could choose to deliver food to themselves only, or to both themselves and another person, thereby making it possible for them to share without personal sacrifice. The potential recipient, a friendly adult, was either silent about he…
