Prospect Theory: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review in the Categories of Psychology in Web of Science.

Prospect Theory (PT) is an alternative, dynamic explanation of the phenomenon of risky decision making. This research presents an overview of PT's history in health fields, including advancements, limitations, and bibliometric data. A systematic and bibliometric review of the scientific literature included in the psychological categories of Web of Science (WoS) was performed following the PRISMA 2020 statement for systematic reviews. A total of 37 studies (10 non-empirical and 27 empirical) were included in the sample. Bibliometric results showed thematic variability and heterogeneity regarding the production, researchers, and methodologies that are used to study PT. The systematic results highlight three main fields of PT research: preventive and screening behaviors, promotion of healthy habits, and COVID-related decision making. Personal and contextual factors which alter the usual pattern specified by PT are also described. To conclude, PT currently has an interdisciplinary character suitable for health promotion, with recent studies broadening its applicability.

Social Support and Resilience as Predictors of Prosocial Behaviors before and during COVID-19.

The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between social support and resilience with prosocial behavior before and during the confinement caused by COVID-19. Materials and Methods: The participants were divided into a confined group (228 women and 84 men) and an unconfined group (153 women and 105 men), all of whom were university students. Instruments were applied to measure the variables proposed. Results: Social support predicted 24.4% of the variance in prosocial behavior among women and 12% among men in the confined group; no evidence of this relationship was found in the unconfined groups. Resilience predicted 7% of the variance in prosocial behavior among confined women, 8.4% among confined men, 8.8% among unconfined women, and 5.1% in unconfined men. Discussion and Conclusion: The results show the importance of social support and resilience in prosocial behaviors, which are key elements for the proper functioning of society, especially in the face of a crisis such as COVID-19.

Social support and resilience to foster prosocial behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic confinement: An explanatory model

The containment measures taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic have had consequences on human thought and behaviour. The purpose of this study is to contrast an explanatory model of prosocial behaviours during confinement by analysing different variables involved. The study sample was made up of 946 participants (70.9% female) and had an average age of 35.25 (SD = 13.98). Participants completed a series of online questionnaires. The results show that social support is a predictor of prosocial behaviours and resilience is a mediator in this relationship;living with others is a protective factor for social support;not working during confinement is a predictor for prosocial behaviours;and being female is a predictor of social support and prosocial behaviours. The proposed model explains 33% of the variance in prosocial behaviours and showed an optimal fit (chi2/gl = 1.68;CFI = .990;GFI = .985;RMSEA = .027). The results explain certain underlying mechanisms of prosociality in difficult times and reflect certain characteristics of the people most vulnerable to the consequences of confinement.

Esta investigacion persigue contrastar un modelo explicativo de las conductas prosociales durante un confinamiento analizando distintas variables implicadas. La muestra esta formada por 946 participantes (70.9% mujeres) con una edad media de 35.25 anos (SD = 13.98). Los participantes completaron una serie de cuestionarios online. Los resultados muestran que el apoyo social es predictor de las conductas prosociales y la resiliencia es mediadora en esta relacion;vivir en compania es un predictor del apoyo social y no trabajar durante el confinamiento lo es de las conductas prosociales;ser mujer es un predictor del apoyo social y las conductas prosociales. El modelo planteado explica el 33% de la varianza en conductas prosociales y muestra un ajuste optimo (chi2/gl = 1.68;CFI = .990;GFI = .985;RMSEA = .027). Los resultados explican algunos mecanismos subyacentes de la Prosocialidad en tiempos dificiles y reflejan algunas caracteristicas de las personas mas vulnerables a las consecuencias del confinamiento.
