Description: In order to advance the science and practice of the assessment of prosocial behaviors used in interventions designed to promote prosocial behaviors, there is a need to synthesize the available evidence regarding the ways in which prosocial behaviors have been defined and measured in intervention studies. This scoping review will build and expand on the current knowledge by 1) searching the literature from 2008 to 2023, 2) utilizing a wide range of databases, 3) using a more expansive definition of prosocial behaviors, and 4) identifying and analyzing the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) of the measures used to assess prosocial behaviors in interventions.
