Empathic Behavior

Following the modern theoretical and empirical data on the problem of relation between the role-taking and empathy abilities we supposed that empathic behavior in early childhood could be realized through acquiring the role “mom” within the role playing. In order to test our suppose we have conducted the ingroup experiment with 36 toddlers (M=35 months) and compared the frequency of the empathic behavior under two conditions: 1) taking the role of mom and 2) taking the role of friend by the toddler withing the experimental story-play with toys. According to our hypothesis we expected that children would display the empathic behavior more frequent in the condition of taking the mom’s role. Our hypothesis was not confirmed since the difference between conditions has been not significant. Such results reveal that the parental models do not serve significant mediating role in the child’s learning of prosocial behavior.

Statement of the problem. Based on the analysis of research by Russian authors, the article outlines the problem of the formation of emotional decentration in preschool children and the importance of play in this process. The purpose of the article is to identify the relationship between the formation of a role-playing game and the formation of emotional decentration. The research methodology is based on the cultural and historical concept of L.S. Vygotsky, as well as the theory of the activity by A.N. Leontiev; in the course of the study, the following methodology was applied: analysis of theoretical sources on formation of the emotional sphere of a preschooler and development of role-playing games; standardized observation of the progress of specially organized games; ascertaining experiment to determine the level of emotional decentration in preschoolers; formative experiment; qualitative and quantitative data analysis; comparative analysis of data using the statistical Student’s t-test. The significance level is p = 0.05. Research results. In the course of the study, our hypothesis was confirmed: such conditions for role-playing games as providing preschoolers with the opportunity to create and transform the play space with the help of unformed object material, adults acceptance of the position as a play partner contribute to the internal and external dynamics of the game, which, in turn, affects the progress in the development of emotional decentration in preschool children. Conclusion. In this paper, the features of emotional development of preschool age were described, the concept of emotional decentration from the point of view of different authors was considered, and the process of the development of play in preschool age was described. A scheme has been developed to determine the level of emotional decentration in preschoolers. In this scheme, three levels of formation of emotional decentration in children 4-6 years old are identified (relative to three criteria as indicators of emotional decentration): high, medium and low. A diagnostic game procedure “Wishes of a Fairy-Tale Character” has been developed, which can be used to identify the level of formation of emotional decentration. A scheme for analyzing the internal and external dynamics of a role-playing game has been developed.

Fairytale therapy is one of the effective methods of working with preschool children who are experiencing various emotional and behavioral difficulties. The essence of this method is to create a special fabulous atmosphere that makes the child’s dreams come true, allows the child to fight their fears and complexes. Fairytale therapy well overcomes the high level of anxiety in children, various fears, aggression, adapts to different children’s groups. Fairytale therapy can be used to deal with aggressive children, insecure, shy, susceptible to deception, as well as in cases of all kinds of psychosomatic illnesses. The process of fairytale therapy allows the child to understand and analyze their problems, to see ways to solve them. The basic principle of fairytale therapy is the holistic development of the individual, the care of the soul, the healing of the fairy tale. According to the results of theoretical and empirical study of fairytale therapy as an element of corrective influence on the formation of psychological health of preschool children, it is determined that the use of fairy tales in daily lessons with them gives an effective result in overcoming children’s anxiety, fears and complexes, stabilizes their emotional state, overcomes excessive aggressiveness in interaction with peers. The main task of fairy tales: to offer alternative behaviors, other exits from problematic situations through fairy-tale events and fairy-tale characters. At the same time performing various functions – diagnostic, prognostic, educational, corrective. At the choice of objects or audience, fairy tales can be individual and group, author and folk. We can choose them arbitrarily for the purpose of direct psychological and pedagogical influence on the problem, depending on the set goals. By freeing children from gaming addiction, the fairy-tale atmosphere allows toddlers to work out certain behavioral and role-playing stories, shaping adaptive and sparing, constructive and creative approaches to addressing urgent children’s problems. Listening, illustrating, playing fairy tales, supplementing and ending a fairy tale allows you to form adequate self-esteem and criticality today, and most importantly – independence and autonomy in the future. However, the results also gave us the opportunity to analyze that the immediate results of the lessons provided do not always give a lasting effect, and often children need reminders, re-discussing, playing the same fairy tale with the use of other activities, consolidating the acquired knowledge and skills in the form of play. Fairy tale as a cultural-philosophical and psychological-educational phenomenon significantly influences the mental health of the younger generation.

This study examined emotional responding (sympathy and distress) and prosocial behavior as well as their relations across four cultures in a specific context. Preschool children ( N = 212) from two Western cultures, Germany and Israel, and two South-East Asian cultures, Indonesia and Malaysia, participated in this study. Children's emotional reactions and prosocial behavior were observed when interacting with an adult in a quasi-experimental situation. Results showed that children from the two South-East Asian cultures, as compared to children from the two Western cultures, displayed more self-focused distress and less prosocial behavior. Across cultures, a positive relation between sympathy and prosocial behavior and a negative relation between self-focused distress and prosocial behavior were found. The strengths of these relations were moderated by culture. These results are discussed with regard to their cultural meaning in the specific experimental situation as well as to general culture-specific characteristics.

It is a very concerning situation we are having today when seeing youngsters showing less involvement and not being helpful toward the ones in need. Having children to be exposed to storybooks is to introduce them with moral values that help in building their characters. Storybooks are developed containing pedagogies adapted from the Quran that convey the value of prosocial behavior effectively. The pedagogies are narrative, dialogue, repetition, and questioning. Typography, illustrations and simplified phrases are additional elements that are also included. This research involved 60 children aged 5 to 6 years old from selected preschools in Malaysia. 30 children are presented with the original version of the storybooks and the rest are presented with modified storybooks. Modified Prosocial Behaviour Questionnaire which consists of 15 items is required to be filled during pre and post-test. There was no significant difference in the pretest (M= 32.07, SD= 3.89) and post-test (M= 32.80, SD= 8.57) when using the original books; t(29)= -0.427, p= 0.672 while there was a significant difference in the pretest (M= 23.83, SD= 7.33) and post-test (M- 32.50, SD= 7.93) when using the modified books; t(29)= -16.478, p= 0.000.
