Abstract

The purpose of this study is to deeply explore the influence of parenting style on the prosocial behavior of college students, and to explore the mediating role of empathy in it. Through the review of relevant studies and CiteSpace visual analysis, it is found that the research of parenting style is increasing year by year, and mainly focuses on children and adolescents, especially emphasizing the role of mothers in the parenting process. The keyword analysis of parenting style based on CNKI and WOS databases shows that the research hotspots and frontiers in this field involve multiple aspects, including parenting style, adolescents, behavior, patterns, family, children, etc. The research hypotheses include a positive correlation between parental emotional parenting level and prosocial behavior of college students, that empathy plays a mediating role in the relationship, and that improving the empathy ability of college students can indirectly promote their prosocial behavior development. Questionnaire data were collected from 216 college students (aged 20 ± 2 years) and their parents, and data processing was conducted using SPSS. This study will help to promote the development of prosocial behavior among college students, and has great significance for cultivating future citizens with a high sense of social responsibility and good social relations. The results not only enrich the theories in the field of emotional upbringing and prosocial behavior, but also provide practical guidance for improving the prosocial behavior of college students.
