Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focused on altruistic behaviour in children. With that premise, the aim was to discover, with respect to children 0-2 years old, (1) what route they take to engaging in altruistic behaviour, and (2) what human/physical environment is conducive to them engaging in altruistic behaviour. To achieve this aim, an observational study and survey of parent-child drop-in centres was conducted. Firstly, It was found that for infants and toddlers to adopt altruistic behaviour, it is important that they gain experience through ‘imitation’ while playing with fellow children. Secondly, It was found that for children to adopt altruistic behaviour, it is important that they engage in play that allows an atmosphere of freedom, such as play that encourages challenge. Finally, It was additionally found that when the adults closest to children, such as parents and childcare providers, had altruistic relationships, children more readily engaged in altruistic behaviour.
