The aim of this dissertation was to gain a better understanding of the development of the motivations underlying early prosociality through studying the mechanisms underlying sociality and prosociality. This was done in three studies. Study 1 focused on the development and interrelation of social and prosocial attention in 10-, 14-, and 24-month-old children. In study 2 children’s levels of positive affect after engaging in active prosocial behaviour (helping) and in a social interaction were examined. Study 3 combined data from Study 1 and 2 to investigate the interrelation between the mechanisms underlying (pro)social attention and the positive emotions following (pro)social behaviour in 14- and 24-month-old children.
