Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of prosocial behavior against
aggression in a school-based universal intervention adapted in two different (non-Western)
countries, Colombia and Chile. Using a randomized pretest-posttest design (and controlling for
participants’ gender and parents’ level of education), current results highlighted different effects
of a similar program in both sites. First, the school-based universal program designed for
promoting prosocial behaviors in the peer context obtained a positive cross-national effect on
prosocial behavior rated by three informants (i.e., self, peer, and teacher reports). In Colombia
this effect was moderated by the initial level of prosociality of the participants and their level of
education. Mediational two waves model corroborated that the improvement on prosocial
behaviors in both countries (moderated in the case of Colombia) predicted significantly lower
level of physical aggression. Characteristics of the implementation considering different cultural
and historical backgrounds were discussed.
