Abstract:

The study examines the relationship between left-behind experience and prosocial behavior, as well as its underlying mechanism Using data from 2010 and 2018 from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we find that left-behind experience during early childhood (ages 0 to 3) can improve and promote personal donation behavior and the amount of donated money. The positive impact of left-behind experience during early childhood (ages 0 to 3) on prosocial behavior is through empathy and trust. First, left-behind experience during early childhood (ages 0 to 3) increases personal empathy and the tendency to feel compassion for others in need, consequently promoting prosocial behavior. Second, left-behind experience during early childhood (ages 0 to 3) increases trust in neighbors, townspeople, and relatives. The increase in trust promotes prosocial behavior. Apart from this, we find that the impact of the left-behind experience during middle childhood (ages 4 to 12) on prosocial behavior is unstable and small compared to the impact of the left-behind experience during early childhood (ages 0 to 3) on prosocial behavior. These findings underscore the significance of support in rural areas and trust in neighbors, townspeople, and relatives, thereby advancing the theory of the impact of the left-behind experience on prosocial behavior during adulthood.

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development.

For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
