چکیده:
Objective: Our study aims to examine the mediating role of prosocial moral reasoning, emotion regulation, and emotion lability in the relation between temperamental characteristics and prosocial behaviour.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a sample of 202 students were recruited through random multistage sampling method. The participants were interviewed about their prosocial moral reasoning. Their mothers also completed questionnaires on temperament, emotion regulation, and prosocial tendencies.
Results: Path analysis indicates that model is fit to data (χ2(9)=13.97, CFI=0.92, RMSEA=0.06, SRMR=0.05). Emotion regulation partially mediates the relation between effortful control and altruistic behaviour. In addition, emotion lability mediates the relation between negative affectivity and altruistic behaviour.
Conclusion: Our findings show that emotion regulation and emotion lability have stronger determinant role in mediating the relation between temperamental characteristics and prosocial behaviours than prosocial moral reasoning. Our results have implications on the heterogeneity of prosocial behaviours.

The capacity of emotion regulation is also known as closely tied to social behavior (McLaughlin, Hatzen-buehler, Mennin, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2011; Kumru, Carlo, Mestre, & Samper, 2012).
We investigated the interaction between cognitive (pro-social moral reasoning) and emotional factors (emotion regulation skill and emotion lability), mediating the relation between temperamental characteristics, and prosocial behavior.
This study aimed to present an integrated model that clarifies how adolescents with various temperament are differently motivated for prosocial behavior and how this path is mediated by prosocial moral reasoning, emotion regu-lation, and emotional lability.
Actually, we hypothesize that effortful control and negative affectivity predict al-truistic behavior in the public, through different paths mediated by emotion regulation, emotional lability, and prosocial moral reasoning.
4. Discussion Overall, consistent with previous findings (Laible, Carlo, Murphy, Augustine, & Roesch, 2014), our results show that temperamental factors can predict prosocial behaviors directly and through the mediational role of emotion regulation.
