The TSO model helped me to predict how the way parents and children interact (like arguments, closeness, or mistreatment) affects the more consistent, long-term aspects of children’s mental health and prosociality. The TSO model also allowed us to estimate how children’s internalising and externalising mental health symptoms were related to their prosociality over time.
Essentially, taking time to build warm, close, comforting morocco rcs data and understanding relationships between parents and children in early childhood tends to predict children’s resilience against mental health difficulties and increases their levels of prosociality throughout childhood and adolescence.
Fractious, angry and manipulative relationships will have the opposite effect.
If parents also take steps to prevent aggressive behaviour and conduct problems early, they could also be supporting their child’s future prosociality (the chances of them acting kindly and considerately).
Unfortunately, greater than average prosociality was not a salient predictor of lower than usual mental health symptoms.
On the other hand, if children build a “trait”, that is, a habit, of being prosocial over time, then children usually have stable low levels of mental health symptoms.
