Ascertaining whether and the extent to which different aspects of parenting are associated with prosocial behaviors could inform parenting programs in cultivating healthy development. Multilevel meta‐analyses (k = 124) involving children and adolescents were conducted to examine associations between parenting and prosocial behaviors while accounting for demographic and study characteristics. Authoritative parenting (r = .174, p < .001) was associated positively whereas authoritarian parenting (r = −.107, p < .001) was associated negatively with prosocial behaviors. These associations remained robust across infancy, childhood, and adolescence in both individualistic and collectivistic cultures. These associations also were invariant across child and parent gender. Moderating effects relevant to the type of prosocial behaviors under examination were identified. Authoritative parenting was associated positively with general, public, emotional, anonymous, dire, compliant, and other specific types of prosocial behaviors (e.g., sharing), but associated negatively with altruistic prosocial behaviors. Authoritarian parenting was associated negatively with general and altruistic prosocial behaviors, but not other specific types. Moderating effects relevant to study design and informant of parenting were found. No moderating effects were identified for the informant and target of prosocial behaviors. Associations of permissive (r = −.096, p < .01) and neglecting parenting (r = −.054, p = .543) remain unclear due to insufficient number of studies and publication biases. Implications for theories, research, and practice are discussed.

育儿和亲社会行为：荟萃分析

确定育儿的不同方面是否与亲社会行为有关以及在多大程度上可以为育儿计划提供有益的信息，以促进健康发展。进行了 涉及儿童和青少年的多级荟萃分析（k = 124），以考察父母行为和亲社会行为之间的关联，同时考虑人口统计学和研究特征。权威性教养（r  = .174，p  <.001）呈正相关，而威权 主义教养（r = −.107，p <.001）与亲社会行为呈负相关。在个人主义和集体主义文化中，这些联系在婴儿期，童年和青春期均保持稳健。这些关联在孩子和父母之间也不变。确定了与所检查的亲社会行为类型有关的调节作用。权威性育儿与一般的，公开的，情感的，匿名的，可怕的，服从的和其他特定类型的亲社会行为（例如，分享）呈正相关，而与利他的亲社会行为呈负相关。威权育儿与一般的和利他的亲社会行为负相关，而与其他特定类型则无负相关。发现与研究设计和育儿知情者有关的调节作用。没有发现对亲人行为的告密者和目标有节制的影响。宽容协会（r  = −.096，p  <.01）和忽略育儿（r  = −.054，p  = .543）仍然不清楚，原因是研究数量和出版偏见不足。讨论了对理论，研究和实践的启示。
