Traditional social cognitive model of prosocial development suggests important links between both sociocognitive and socioemotive traits and prosocial behaviors. The present study examined the relations among perspective taking, empathic concern, prosocial moral reasoning, and public, emotional, compliant, and anonymous prosocial behaviors in Filipino and Turkish young adults to test the generalizability of this traditional model. Participants were 257 college students recruited from state universities in Ankara, Turkey (57 women, 83 men; M_age = 19.26 years, SD = 0.63) and Manila, the Philippines (75 women, 42 men; M_age = 18.41 years, SD = 1.44). Results showed that the relations among perspective taking, empathic concern, prosocial moral reasoning, and four types of self-reported prosocial behaviors were robust across two countries and gender. Perspective taking was positively related to empathic concern, which, in turn, was positively related to emotional and compliant prosocial behaviors. Perspective taking was also positively related to prosocial moral reasoning, which, in turn, was positively related to anonymous and negatively related to public prosocial behaviors. Overall, the findings provide support for the generalizability of traditional model of prosocial development and extend our understanding of prosocial behaviors to two non-Western, collectivist-oriented societies.

亲社会发展的传统社会认知模型表明社会认知和社会情感特征与亲社会行为之间的重要联系。本研究检查了观点采择，共情关注，亲社会道德推理以及菲律宾和土耳其年轻人的公开，情感，顺从和匿名亲社会行为之间的关系，以检验这种传统模型的可推广性。参加者为土耳其安卡拉州立大学招募的257名大学生（57名女性，男83名；M_年龄 = 19.26岁，SD  = 0.63）和菲律宾马尼拉（75名女性，42名男性；M_年龄 = 18.41岁，SD = 1.44）。结果表明，在两个国家和性别之间，观点采择，共情关注，亲社会道德推理和四种自我报告的亲社会行为之间的关系是牢固的。采取观点与移情有关，与情感和顺从的亲社会行为成正相关。观点采择与亲社会道德推理也有正相关，反过来又与匿名和社交亲社会行为负相关。总体而言，研究结果为传统的亲社会发展模型的一般性提供了支持，并将我们对亲社会行为的理解扩展到两个非西方的，以集体主义为导向的社会。
