Effects of the BETA-PUCV program on participants’ prosocial behaviour and social responsibility: An analysis using discontinuity regression modeling
This article presents the results of a study conducted with high-ability students who had been participating for three years in an extracurricular program entitled BETA-PUCV (Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso/Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile). More specifically, the aim of the study was to determine the impact of this program on the students’ prosocial behaviour. To do so, two tests were administered, and the results were analyzed using discontinuity regression modeling. However, these results did not make it possible to establish the existence of prosocial behaviour models and social responsibility models that differ from those of students with similar ability levels and not participating in this program2.
