Is It Bad to Be Good? An Exploration of Aggressive and Prosocial Behavior Subtypes in Adolescence (2004, unknown): “…of prosocial action has demonstrated that such behavior emerges in concordance with empathy and perspective-taking ability (for reviews, see Eisenberg and Fabes, 1998; Hay, 1994), which overtly aggressive children and adolescents typically lack (Bj¨orkvist et al., 2000; Miller and Eisenberg, 1988).”
Unique and Interactive Effects of Empathy and Social Status on Involvement in Bullying (2009, background): “Therefore, although the skill of sharing others’ emotions seems to motivate prosocial behavior (Björkqvist et al., 2000; Gini et al., 2006), this may not be enough to be able to stand up for the weak child in the group.”
