Summary
Children and adolescents' empathy and prosocial behaviors are important for their social competency. To explore these variables, adolescents completed questionnaires regarding parent behaviors, parent-child relationships, and their own prosocial behaviors. Results revealed that certain parent behaviors may promote adolescent empathy and prosocial behaviors through a balanced parent-child relationship.
