Book Description
Fuses the work of scholars in educational, developmental, clinical, social, and personality psychology in this exploration of the question "How can constructive and prosocial behavior be promoted and destructive and antisocial behavior be controlled?" This collection of empirically grounded chapters explores theory and experimental findings on what influences prosocial and antisocial expression, adding to the debates about whether media violence causes real violence or whether catharsis is good. This text aims to give scientists and practitioners a new perspective on the context within which these behaviors thrive: how empathy develops, how self-control in childhood predicts adult behavior, how age and sex influence bullying, whether early intervention can prevent delinquency, and how school success lays the groundwork for constructive lives.
