The Roles of Authenticity in Relationships and Attachment in Adolescents' Prosocial Experiences
Abstract
The current study examined prosocial experiences in 165 girls and boys (Mage = 14.87). Two aspects of relationships, parental attachment and parent and peer authenticity in relationships, were explored as predictors of prosocial experiences. The results indicated that girls reported higher levels of prosocial experiences compared to boys. Path analyses found that, for both genders, secure attachment and authenticity with peers predicted prosocial experiences. In addition, there were interactions between secure attachment and dismissing attachment with authenticity with peers, with authenticity with peers buffering the effects of low secure attachment and low dismissive attachment on prosocial experiences. These results highlight the importance of examining adolescents' prosocial experiences within the context of relationships.
Keywords: Authenticity in relationships; attachment; prosocial experiences.
