Prosocial behavior reflects the culturally structured socialization goals of parents. Parents structure children’s prosocial behaviors by following their cultural models. Being responsive to others’ needs is a matter either of deliberate choice or interpersonal obligation. Thus, it is important to understand the underlying cultural mechanisms of prosocial behavior (Miller & Bersoff, 1992). Turkey is not easily categorized as individualistic and collectivistic culture. Turkey is a country where individualistic and collectivistic values are seen together (Goregenli, 1995; Kagitcibasi, 1985, 1990). The aim of the current study is to examine relationships between maternal cultural models and their children’s prosocial behaviors in Turkey. Besides, temperament of children is evaluated.
