| Sumario: | Abstract: This article has a dual purpose. First, it proposes to investigate adolescents’ opinion and
acceptance of the new online program called “Hero.” Second, this article studies the
program’s effectiveness in promoting prosocial behavior. The sample included 51 men
and women participants between the ages of 12 and 16 (average age 15.02; SD ¼ 1.07;
49% men). All of the adolescents attended high school and belonged to a middle
socioeconomic status. The results indicated that the majority of the users enjoyed
participating in the Hero program and thought that it was easy to use and useful, that
what they learned could be transferred to daily life, and that they would recommend the
program to other adolescents. Moreover, the Hero intervention was effective in promoting prosocial behavior toward strangers and family members but not in promoting
prosocial behavior toward friends. |
