Abstract

Broad access to digital and social networks is changing the nature of interpersonal relationships among young people. Opportunities to help people around us are rapidly developing both in offline and online contexts. The article considers the question of how media resources can influence the prosocial interactions of children and young people in prosocial activity. It is revealed that prosocial media content (news videos, social commercials, etc.) influence prosocial thinking, prosocial intentions and actualize positive emotional reactions. Popular games in the media environment, equipped with a prosocial context, attract the attention of children and young people to social and environmental problems, promote the development of empathy, altruism, civic consciousness, etc. in game interaction.
