Self-esteem, The Way Of Parenting And College Students Pro-social Behavior Relationship

Nowadays in the times of constructing harmonious society and paying attention to healthy development, the lack of early adolescents' prosocial behavior has become an issue which is urgently concerned by society and researchers. Prosocial behavior can be defined as the behavior which is done voluntarily and advantageous to others, promoting to form harmonious interpersonal relationship. It will be helpful to establish and maintain good society order, but also favorable to individual self-development. Implicit pro-social behavior which is a significantly different from the tradition of explicit pro-social behavior derives from the past experience and forms an implicit psychological structure, which automatically and potentially impact individual judgment and behavior related to pro-social behavior.With the gradual deepening of understanding pro-social behavior, people aware that pro-social behavior is a part of human nature, which has certain racial heredity and is influenced by social environment factors. This study adopted the methods of peer evaluation, Implicit Association Test (IAT) and self-evaluation measurement to verify the separation of pro-social behavior effect and to survey the effect of explicit self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and parental rearing pattern on the emergence and development of implicit and explicit pro-social behavior, which provide the theoretical significance to cultivation of's pro-social behavior.In this study includes the following aspects:Study I adopted adolescent identity pro-social behavior to apply peer evaluation measurement to measured explicit pro-social behavior in four-dimensional degrees altruistic, regulatory compliance and public, relationship and characteristics pro-social behavior. In order to measure implicit pro-social behavior, study I also adopted nomination method to collect pro-social and non-pro-social vocabularies to apply implicit association test. The tests above took 128 college students as experimental objectives to investigate implicit inclination and separation effect of pro-social behavior.Study II adopted Self-Esteem Scale of Rosenberger to measure explicit self-esteem and adopted self-esteem Implicit Association Test method to measure implicit self-esteem, which explored the relationship between explicit implicit self-esteem and explicit implicit pro-social behavior, the effect of explicit implicit self-esteem on explicit pro-social behavior and the relationship between the separation of explicit implicit self-esteem and pro-social behavior.Study III used Parental Rearing Style Scales to measure parental rearing style to study the influence of parental rearing style on pro-social behavior.Finally, the discussion part explained the research results, deeply discussed the influence of explicit implicit self-esteem and parental rearing style on pro-social behavior and looked forward to research trend of pro-social behavior in the future.Research conclusions are as follows:(1)Pro-social behavior of college students has implicit inclination and doesn't have gender difference; explicit and implicit pro-social are two relatively independent structures which have separation effect.(2) There are significant positive correlation between explicit self-esteem of college students and explicit pro-social behavior, but explicit self-esteem is not correlated significantly with implicit pro-social; There are significant positive correlation between implicit self-esteem and implicit pro-social, but implicit self-esteem is not correlated significantly with explicit pro-social.(3) Explicit self-esteem plays a regulatory role between implicit self-esteem and the explicit pro-social behavior of relationship, the concrete manifestation of which is that the lower implicit self-esteem individuals with low explicit self-esteem have, the more easily they do relationship pro-social behavior(4)The separation of explicit and implicit self-esteem has a significant positive correlation with regulatory compliance and public, characteristics and relationship pro-social behavior, but has significant negative correlation with implicit pro-social, which shows that the higher explicit self-esteem is than implicit self-esteem, the stronger pro-social behavior of regulatory compliance and public, relationship and characteristics, the lower implicit pro-social inclination is.(5) Parental rearing style has correlation with explicit pro-social behavior in different degree, but no significant correlation was found between Parental rearing style and implicit pro-social inclination.
