The article highlights the results of an experimental study on the formation of prosocial behavior among out-of-school students of their teenage and adolescent years. The dynamics of development of prosocial behavior is determined; the reliability of the revealed changes is established to confirm the effectiveness of the conducted psycho-correctional work. This article is an experimental continuation of the first stage of the study of teens and adolescents’ prosocial behavior.
The results of the experimental study show the dynamics of changes before and after the formative experiment on the levels of empathy, the components of altruism and selfishness in the experimental and control groups. Changes in types and norms of teens and adolescents’ prosocial orientation of behavior are analyzed.
After the experiment it was found out that the level of empathy and altruism is statistically higher among the students of their teenage and adolescent years in the experimental group than in the control one. It is noted that the system of psycho-correctional measures promotes the development and increase of empathy and altruism among teenagers and adolescents.
Significant differences among the types and norms of teenage and adolescent students’ prosocial behavior before and after the experiment are identified.
It is proved that teenagers and adolescents show less dominance of altruistic motives in behavior when there is a necessity to provide assistance in public. The level of altruism increases under the possibility of selfless and charitable assistance.
It is concluded that the results of the approbation have testified to the effectiveness of the developed program of prosocial behavior formation in students of out-of-school institutions.
