Abstract

Infants exhibit a wide range of prosocial behaviors, including helping, sharing, comforting, and cooperating. In infancy, these behaviors become more sophisticated and socially appropriate. The aim of this research is to systematically identify and review the literature that has incorporated the study of the father figure and its impact on the development of prosocial behavior in children aged 0-5 years. Method, using the PRISMA methodology, a search and analysis of scientific articles in the Scopus and Web of Science databases was carried out, considering established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results, 28 articles were selected and the analysis of their results indicates that fathers have an impact on the development of prosocial behavior in children between 0 and 5 years of age. The exercise of the paternal role and the support provided by the father, favors the child to manifest prosocial behaviors from early childhood, in the relationship with their significant figures and with third parties, directly and indirectly, in the different socialization contexts.
