Much of this century's empirical research in the social sciences has been devoted to understanding the causes and contributing factors of antisocial behavior. In studies of children's moral reasoning and conduct, developmental psychologists have probed the cognitive and social bases of aggression, conflict, delinquency, and prejudice. In contrast to psychology's lengthy preoccupation with negative behavior in children, the study of children's altruistic, cooperative, and sharing behavior has a relatively short history.

Originally published in 1986, this book was an effort to integrate thinking and research concerning the role of emotion and cognition in altruistic behaviour.

This book focusses primarily on a specific set of intrapsychic factors involved in prosocial responding, especially emotions and cognitions believed to play a major role in altruistic behaviour. In the final chapters these intrapsychic factors are also discussed in relation to...
