Classroom-Level and Individual-Level Prosociality and Help-Seeking Behaviors Among Adolescents
This cross-sectional study of 21 845 students found that both classroom-level and individual-level prosociality were associated with higher rates of help-seeking from peers among senior high school students, while accounting for individual characteristics. Enhancing classroom prosociality could foster help-seeking behaviors through reciprocal peer support, benefiting even those who experienced bullying.
