Title of project:
The temporal dynamics of prosocial behaviour-executive functions relations during child development
Proposal summary:
The current project is a student project linked to the already approved project: B3840 Developmental pathways to mental health
problems.
Prosocial behaviour and inhibitory control are essential components of social competence and self-regulation, respectively, and both are considered important in child development, and in preventing behavioural problems in children and adolescence. Current knowledge about the developmental relationships between prosocial behaviour and inhibitory control is however limited. In light of the existing literature, a deeper understanding of the developmental relations between prosocial behaviour and inhibitory control may have implications for interventions aimed at preventing problem behaviour in children.
