The influence of the family social environment on the forming of the prosocial orientation in child at older pupilage

Pavla Kaňkovská

Abstract

Research studies realized in domain of the prosocial behavior indicate that it´s possible to consider the family social environment above all as significant determining factor on forming, developing and influencing of the child´s prosocial orientation. In this work, I targetted the interactional characterizations of the family social environment and parental rearing practices, which influence the child´s prosocial orientation. This research project is based on quantitative approach. There were also realized additional qualitative sound in families, in which a child shows higher measure of prosocial behavior. It´s possible to consider the nurturance, careful and helpful parents´ behavior, who give reasons for their disciplinary arrangements and establish clear rearing rules and demands as the most effective ways of positive rearing treatment in regulation of the prosocial behavior.
