Abstract:

The effects of prosocial tendencies and ego depletion on adolescents' prosocial behavior were explored through a questionnaire survey conducted on 300 adolescents. After the screening, 60 high and junior high school students with high and low prosocial tendencies were selected respectively. Following an ego depletion experiment, the dictator game was utilized to measure their prosocial behavior. The findings revealed that: (1) There was a significant difference in prosocial behavior between the high and low ego depletion groups, with the low ego depletion group exhibiting more prosocial behavior; (2) Adolescents' prosocial behavior varied according to grade, with senior high school students displaying higher levels of prosocial behavior; (3) The interaction effect of ego depletion, prosocial tendencies, and grade was significant. For high school students with high prosocial tendencies, ego depletion had no impact on their level of pro-social behavior; however, for those with low pro-social tendencies, the low ego-depletion group exhibited higher levels of pro-social behavior than the high-ego-depletion group. For junior high school students regardless of their pro-social tendencies, the low-ego-depletion group displayed higher levels of pro-social behavior than the high-ego-depletion group.
