FREITAS, Iara da S.; OLIVEIRA, Gabriela E. de  e  MELO, Márcia Helena da S.. Evidence-based interventions for promoting prosocial behavior in schools: integrative review. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.3, pp. 1-30. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPPE14091.

Since the last decades, an increasing number of research in schools have looked towards prosocial behavior, which refers to voluntary actions aimed at benefiting other individuals. This study aimed to describe evidence-based interventions, available in the national and international literature, focused on promoting prosocial behavior in children and adolescents in the school context. An integrative literature review was carried out with searches in ERIC, LILACS, PePSIC, PsycINFO, SciELO, and Scopus databases, resulting in 21 articles. Nineteen studies reported positive effects in promoting prosocial behavior and other assessed outcomes, such as socioemotional skills, disruptive behavior, interpersonal relationships, and academic achievement. Future studies should investigate the sustainability of the interventions in schools, compare efficacy and effectiveness between their different modalities and invest in their development in countries in the southern hemisphere.
