越来越多的人认识到，有必要检查不同形式的亲社会行为，并在少数民族中进行亲社会行为的研究。中学生（平均年龄=12.67岁; 54%的女孩;欧洲裔美国人，n=290;墨西哥裔美国人，n=152）完成了亲社会行为和父母的监控措施，外化行为和宗教信仰的多维测量。结果产生支持性证据，匿名，可怕的，情绪化的，顺从的，公共的，利他主义是不同形式的亲社会行为。此外，亲社会行为的测量显示跨种族和性别的测量等效属性。讨论的重点是亲社会行为的多维性和未来的研究对亲社会行为的影响。
There is growing recognition of the need to examine distinct forms of prosocial behaviors and to conduct research on prosocial behaviors among ethnic minorities. Middle school students (mean age=12.67 years; 54% girls; European American, n=290; Mexican American, n=152) completed a multidimensional measure of prosocial behavior and measures of parental monitoring, externalizing behaviors, and religiosity. Results yield supportive evidence that anonymous, dire, emotional, compliant, public, and altruism are different forms of prosocial behaviors. Moreover, the measure of prosocial behaviors shows measurement equivalence properties across ethnicity and gender. The discussion focuses on the multidimensional nature of prosocial behaviors and implications for future research on prosocial behaviors.
