Abstract

Gender differences in prosocial behavior have been widely studied. Given the long-term effects of behavioral prosocial problems on later childhood academic performance, it is certain that gender differences in prosocial behavior can be rooted in developmental characteristics in early childhood. In an effort to contribute insight to knowledge of child development, this study investigates whether variability in behavioral issues among child kindergarten children can be attributed to gender differences. Participants included 128 children and 8 teachers in each class who were given a questionnaire or CBCL instrument to respond to the child's prosocial behavior, under the questionnaire with comments or additions to the child's behavior not contained in the CBCL instrument. Children (mean age at month = 72 (SD = 36.47) consisted of 67 boys and 61 girls.This study showed that there was no gender difference in prosocial behavior problems in children aged 3 years, 4 years, 5 years.But when analyzed the comparison of child prosocial behavior problems on gender differences there is a significant result that there are differences in prosocial behavior between boys and girls.
