Cognitive Processes and Prosocial Behaviors among Children: The Role of Affective Attributions and Reconciliations.

Gustavo, Carlo; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v27 n3 p456-61 May 1991

Help that required a specific form of affective attribution and reconciliation was found to be related to the affective attribution and reconciliation measures when the demands of the helping opportunity matched the social cognition measure demands.
