ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the research article entitled “Prosocial Development: Parenting Styles and School”, published by María Vicenta Mestre (2014) in Revista Mexicana de Investigación en Psicología. The objective of Mestre’s article was to study in a large sample of Spanish adolescents, the predictive power in the development of prosocial behavior of family, personal and school variables. The present article suggests towards the development of new research that they should (1) include separate analysis of different aid recipients -such as prosocial behavior toward strangers, friends or the family; and (2) to consider the reason why the agent of prosocial behavior makes collaborative task, since these aspects could improve the results found by the author.
