Books by Nancy Eisenberg

The Caring Child provides the most current account of our understanding of the motivations behind prosocial behaviors and how these motives develop and are elicited. Eisenberg broadens our concept of the moral potential of children and shifts the focus from censoring antisocial behaviors to the active promotion of kindness and caring in children.

Features contributors who synthesize research from psychology and from other fields such as education, family studies and social work. This title shows how different methods used by developmental and social psychologists present unique possibilities for exploring questions of mutual interest.
