Assessing Prosocial Behavior in Interventions: A Scoping Review of Existing Measures and Their Psychometric Properties

In order to advance the science and practice of the assessment of prosocial behaviors used in interventions designed to promote prosocial behaviors, there is a need to synthesize the available evidence regarding the ways in which prosocial behaviors have been defined and measured in intervention studies. This scoping review will build and expand on the current knowledge by 1) searching the literature from 2008 to 2023, 2) utilizing a wide range of databases, 3) using a more expansive definition of prosocial behaviors, and 4) identifying and analyzing the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) of the measures used to assess prosocial behaviors in interventions.

为推进促进亲社会行为的干预措施中亲社会行为评估的科学和实践，有必要综合现有关于亲社会行为在干预研究中定义和测量的证据。本次范围综述将通过以下方式构建和扩展现有知识：1）检索2008年至2023年的文献，2）利用广泛的数据库，3）采用更为广泛的亲社会行为定义，以及4）识别和分析用于评估干预中亲社会行为的测量工具的心理测量特性（例如，效度、信度）。
