亲社会行为的早期发展已成为发展心理学的一个重要课题。尽管关于婴幼儿早期亲社会倾向的研究结果受到了广泛关注，对其后续发展途径的研究也促进了大量研究，但对这些亲社会行为首次出现的机制和动机知之甚少。在本文中，我介绍和回顾了理论方法，然后根据最近的发现对它们进行了评估。我的结论是，早期亲社会行为的形式与不同的社会认知机制有关，并受到各种动机的支持。
The early development of prosocial behavior has become a major topic in developmental psychology. Although findings on the early presence of prosocial tendencies in infants and toddlers have received much attention and the examination of their subsequent developmental pathways has fostered ample research, little is known about the mechanisms and motives that bring about the first emergence of these prosocial actions. In this article, I introduce and review theoretical approaches, then evaluate them in light of recent findings. I conclude that the forms of early prosocial behavior are related to different social-cognitive mechanisms and underpinned by various motives.
