Humans appear exceptional in their ability to respond to the needs of their conspecifics, very early in development. Studies show, however, that with age, children become more discriminating regarding the targets of their altruistic acts and more selective in their prosocial behaviours. Beyond describing this development, an important field that emerges in current literature concerns the cognitive factors that modulate cooperation and helpfulness in children. It has been proposed that short-term mental training based on mindfulness techniques can increase prosociality. The effect has been shown in adults and some evidence exists in children, however these measured prosociality in an indirect way (self-reports, teacher reports) or focused on the overall effects of mental training on cognitive functioning. The project's aim will be to methodically measure the effects of short-term mindfulness training on actual prosocial behaviour in 4-8-year-old children. The data obtained will be used to develop guidelines for practices and training programs that promote prosocial behaviours in children and in society on the longer term.

人类在发育的早期就有能力对同类的需求做出反应。然而，研究表明，随着年龄的增长，儿童对利他行为的目标变得更加有辨别力，在亲社会行为中也变得更加有选择性。除了描述这种发展，在当前的文献中出现的一个重要领域涉及调节儿童合作和乐于助人的认知因素。有人提出，基于正念技术的短期心理训练可以增加亲社会性。这种影响已经在成人中显示出来，也有一些证据存在于儿童中，但是这些以间接的方式（自我报告，教师报告）测量亲社会性，或者专注于心理训练对认知功能的整体影响。该项目的目的是系统地衡量短期正念训练对4-8岁儿童实际亲社会行为的影响。获得的数据将用于制定实践和培训方案的指导方针，以促进儿童和社会的长期亲社会行为。
