Effects of Prosocial MediaMuch of children's media focuses on positive and prosocial themes, like sharing and helping others. Do children recognize the moral lessons of their favorite shows and stories? And do these prosocial messages affect their subsequent behavior? We study whether prosocial media leads children to act more kindly or empathically. We are especially interested in whether prosocial books and television shows lead to different effects in young children.
