Research supports the beneficial role of prosocial behaviors on children’s adjustment and successful
youth development. Empirical studies point to reciprocal relations between negative parenting and children’s
maladjustment, but reciprocal relations between positive parenting and children’s prosocial behavior are
understudied. In this study reciprocal relations between two different dimensions of positive parenting (quality
of the mother–child relationship and the use of balanced positive discipline) and children’s prosocial behavior
were examined in Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States
