abstract="This study compares the prosociality of the children 5-6 years according to gender and educational background they attend, in three assessment methods either : 1) prosociality perceived by adults; 2) prosociality expressed by children in hypothetical situations; and 3) prosociality observed during social interactions. The results show that girls are perceived as more prosocial than boys by their early childhood educators or teachers, but did not reveal a significant effect of gender regarding the expressed prosociality or observed prosociality. Children in kindergarten obtain higher expressed prosociality scores than children in childcare, while the reverse is true for the observed prosociality. These results are discussed in terms of their involvement in the prevention of violence in educational contexts.
