Longitudinal relationship between adolescent emotional self‐regulation and prosocial behavior toward powerful people: Disentangling between‐person differences from within‐person effects

Findings advocate the domain-specific nature of self-regulation and prosocial behavior and deepen our understanding of the relationship between the two from the culture-specific perspective. This study also highlights the value of emotional self-regulation intervention as a viable way to promote adolescent prosocial development. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.
