The effect of prosocial story telling and discussion on the development of children's helping and sharing behaviors and prosocial reasoning was studied. Subjects were 36 five-year-old kindergarten children assigned to control or experimental groups. The research design consisted of a pre-test and pre-observation, 6 week intervention, and post-test and post-observation. Data were collected by means of a video camera and analyzed by adjusted means and ANCOVA, using the SPSS/PC+. Both children's helping behavior and prosocial reasoning was higher in the group exposed to prosocial story telling with discussion as compared with the group with story telling only and the control group.
