Psychological processes and family variables as prosocial behavior predictors in a sample of Spanish adolescents.

A review of personal and family variables that regulate prosocial behavior is based on a sample of 1,433 Spanish adolescents (ages 9 to 13; 743 boys and 690 girls) who were assessed on the Prosocial Reasoning Objective Measure, the Physical and Verbal Aggression Scale, the Emotional Instability Scale, the State-Trait Anger Inventory, the Child's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, the Prosocial Behavior Scale, and the Index of Empathy for Children and Adolescents. Discriminant analyses showed that empathy, self-control in anger-provoking situations, and affection in family relationships are the best predictors of prosocial behavior.

Adaptación del Child´s Report Parent Behavior Inventory a población española / Adaptation of Child’s Report of Parent Behavior Inventory in spanish population

En este trabajo se presenta una adaptación en población española del Child’s Reports of Parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI). El CRPBI es un instrumento que permite evaluar la disciplina familiar que perciben los hijos, tanto en su relación con el padre, como en su relación con la madre. Se considera un buen método para investigar las percepciones que los hijos tienen de la conducta paterna. La adaptación española se ha realizado en una muestra de 1.274 adolescentes (varones y mujeres) que pertenecían a diferentes centros educativos de la Comunidad Valenciana (rango de edad entre 13 y 18 años). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las dimensiones de afecto/apoyo y control en los estilos de crianza que se perciben por parte del padre y de la madre son las dimensiones claras, potentes y fiables en nuestra población
